Using QR readers in MFL

I came across a lot of these bar codes in some American newspapers while on holiday and wondered how they might be used in MFL teaching and learning.

To read the barcode on an iphone you need to download the QR Reader app from the App Store.

You can create your own - here is one that is a hyperlink to my own website, created by www.qrstuff.com

As well as hyperlinks I thought they could be used for quizes, recipes etc. If you have any thoughts or if you've already used them then please post a comment.

Using poetry as a stimulus for writing

To celebrate Valentine's day students this week wrote poems following two patterns:
