GaGa for Goo.gl (& QR Codes)

You may find this hard to believe, but it's sometimes easier for me to make a short video than to write a blog post. I think this explanation works well in this format.

Mobile Phone Teleportation

Questions to Consider:
Do you have a camera equipped cell phone?
Are you aware that it can be used for more than taking everyday photographs?
Have you heard of Quick Response codes; geotagging; or face recognition?
Might barcoding our world become an educational endeavor?

Once again Mr. Robbo has got me buzzing about how cell phones can be leveraged for education. In a recent tweet, he directed followers to Semapedia, and now we've synchronously begun thinking about how a technology that started as a marketing tool, might be harnessed by teachers and students.
