Love the nutrition quiz you developed. I am looking around for a freeware version and noticed you recently tagged classmarker so am playing around with that and it looks quite good. Will let you know. I found that google docs were quite good for the self marking quizzes but I am finding them a lot more useful for class discussions, debates and group work where all the students can work on the same document at the same time and see it updated in real time. We use them as a faculty also to develop programs etc where we can all work on the one document. Quite a big fan of most of the google programs. QR codes look very interesting. I don't have a compatible mobile at the moment but will look at using them for our orienteering unit we do with our yr 10 classes later this year. Lots of great things you are doing around integrating technology. Look forward to seeing your future endeavours!! Wondershare looks like a great little tool. Love the nutrition quiz you developed.

In the past I have used Wondershare Quiz Creator to create a range of self marking tests which have worked really well in the past see http://jarrodro.googlepages.com/Nutrition.html. However I really like the idea of using Google Docs for this purpose, such a wonderful application. As im busy teaching the body systems to my year 7 PE students I may indeed utilise this approach. Have you used QR codes in your PE classes before? I used them recently to help with teaching the skeletal system, you can take a look at http://mrrobbo.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/learning-the-skeleton-with-qr-codes/ Cheers Fantastic Idea.
