Tried out the QRtoon and this is mine. Easy to create on the web version.


I have been using QR codes to get the students to access my Geography blog for the last few years. Giving them the printed QR code on a cat bookmark.

I have also used it in an amazing race style activity for geography in which the QR codes give them clues to proceed to the next station.

Brought the student back in time to watch the Chingay 2005, way before he was born!

Definitely a good way to get the students curious about the past. The notion of place and time.

Side note that NAS is very useful and easy to use in searching for old photos.
