More Lesson Ideas• Mini-Lessons – This could be a station. A student could scan a problem and a video of the teacher teaching the concept would appear.

• Science Fair – Students would create a video of their science experiment and the marker would be next to the project so that others could scan and listen to the students presentation.

• Virtual Museum – Students could create a virtual museum of famous historians. A marker for each person could be hung in a hallway and then other students could scan the marker to watch a video on the person.

More Lesson Ideas• Equipment How-To – create a video on how to use a piece of equipment. The marker could be a picture of the equipment.
