QR Challenge: Staff orientation - who does what and where

Created using the ClassTools QR Treasure Hunt Generator

Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.

2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to

• Download a QR reader (e.g. I-Nigma | NeoReader | Kaywa) onto their mobile devices
• Bring these devices into the lesson.

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.

---

B. The lesson:

1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.

2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.

3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!

Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question	Answer
1. Where is the campus office?	Shirl and Pam live here. You will also find information about allergy students, the staff sign out book, order can be placed here and so much more. Always warm in winter.
2. Where is the Textiles room?	Suz teaches VCE Product Design and technology as well as VET Applied Fashion. Students are always creative and bubbly. Watch out for the dye area as it can get a bit messy. To your left you head towards the business rooms, over the corridor and onto the science wing. To your right is the Careers room and continue out into the canteen area. Opposite Textiles are the two computer labs, and the technicians office.
3. Where is the College Office?	This office is home to Karen and Faye, and the overall running of the college is managed from here. How about that curved glass, no wonder parts of this building are heritage listed.
4. Where are the Science rooms?	The science rooms are host to all kinds of science wonder and awe. Physics, Biology, Chemistry... can you name others?
5. Where is the staff common room?	The staff common room is home for teachers resting and getting a coffee fix, or having lunch. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and milk. Don\'t leave things to fester in the fridge, and clean up your mess. There is a roster for people to take turns, but many hands make light work.
