Several hundred kindergarten through third grade students at Tibbott Elementary School searched far and wide for lost gingerbread men earlier this week.
It was all part of a unique QR Code Scavenger Hunt hosted by Tibbott Library Media Center Director Erin Preder who read each class the Monarch Book Award-winning “Gingerbread Man Loose” and then sent student teams armed with iPads searching for seven gingerbread men hidden throughout the library.
The scavenger hunt included at least three different pre-recorded Q coded clues for each team that could only be accessed by using the iPad. Each code sent them to a new QR Code elsewhere in the room.
Preder labeled the exercise a success with engaged students not only having fun and learning how to work together, but also continuing to learn more about using tablet computers.
