Mobile Phones – Friend not foe
Granted, the presence of mobile phones can be a problem in many classrooms, but the fact that every student has such a powerful piece of equipment in their pocket should be overlooked at your peril!
The app store is a maths teachers dream with all sorts of fantastic little resources such as compasses for when you teach bearings, reaction time testers for ordering decimals and revision quizzes for KS4. Go on and have a look, you will be inspired.
Amongst all the apps one of the greatest has to be the QR code scanner. You see these little codes popping up all over the place. 
You scan the code using the app and could be sent some text, a picture, or you may be directed to a webpage.
One of the best generators can be found here . It’s free to use, so you just select what you want to happen when it is scanned and hey presto you’ve got a QR code, the colours can be changed too which is a nice touch. So, how can these be used in the classroom? Well the presentation beneath should answer that question!
