Balmullo QR Code Safari
Between March and May of 2012, on Friday afternoons, Jon Gill was a ‘digital advisor’ to a class of Primary Twos at Balmullo Primary in Fife. They set out to create a QR Code Safari around the village, a treasure hunt kind of a trail where the treasure is knowledge and education! The theme was ‘Old Balmullo’ – what was it like to live and work in Balmullo 100 years ago and how has the past shaped what we know and love about the village.
Check out his blog and you’ll find a link to the Balmullo QR Safari Map but if you would like to know more about how the children designed the Safari please follow this link which will collate all of the Balmullo Safari blog posts. (be aware that they will appear ‘most recent’ post first, so you get the story back to front)
Very creative idea, wonder how many times the Qr Codes were scanned?

Twitter QR Code Bingo
Interesting idea, QR Code Twitter Bingo!
A link available at the site will create random bingo boards that will tweet out a question when scanned with a QR code reader. Have your students then append something to the tweet.
It was used by the author by having participants at a conference submit a one sentence fact about themselves. As an ice breaker they went around and tried to find who the person was who fit that fact. Scanning the QR code once you find the person will auto generate a tweet with that fact. The participant would then append the twitter handle of who matches that fact to the end of the fact, thus allowing others in the room to get to know everyone.

Alberta corn maze QR code
The 13th annual corn maze at Kraay Family Farm in Lacombe covers 15 acres, with three lookout bridges. The central QR Code corm maze covers 7.121 acres which is approximately 560ft x 560ft. Rachel Kraay says that the QR Code does scan from the air and resolves to the Kraay Family Farm website. At over 300,000 square feet the QR Code is more than 14 times larger than the previous world record set in Toronto. If you are anywhere near the Kraay Family Farm in Lacombe, Alberta Canada; pay it a visit because the opportunity to get lost in a world record QR Code does not come along very often! You can also check out the Jumping Pillow, Corn Cannon, Tire Horse Carousel, Trike Trail! Pedal Cart Track, Chicken Show, Campfires, Farm Animals, Pumpkin Blaster, Tube Slides, Tire Mountain, Photo ops, Giant Chess, and Food!

QR Codes Explained
NOAH Guerrilla QR Code
“Who wants to be beautiful, must suffer, they say. In truth, only innocent animals suffer. Because cosmetics ingredients are still being tested on animals, sometimes even on the basis of legal regulation. We learn nothing about painful animal experiments in the manufacturers’ advertising campaigns. Help us change that. You print the code: from NOAH and glue it to where it is seen. To where the truth must be exposed. Print. Stick. Uncover.” German animal rights organisation NOAH invited supporters to download a QR codes, print them and glue them in public places. The QR codes, online at code.noah.de, referred users to a video on animal experiments..
