iPhone Treasure Hunt

This week Sharon had us running around the university looking for clues in out treasure hunt! Using the code-scanning app we took pictures which led to another code with another clue! Unfortunatly nobody found the prize, I'm not sure if Sharon was joking and sent us on a wild goose chase just for the experience or if there was actually a prize somewhere and we all missed it. Either way it worked because the experience was extremely engaging, even if we didn't win the prize I still enjoyed following the clues and working together. It may have worked better if each team started out with a different code though, as the first person to solve the clue was followed by everybody else. Doing this with a class would end up in a pile up of thirty children all trying to take photos. The active learning with the modern technology was a perfect combination! I will definatly use this in the classroom! This is my favourite transferable activity so far!
