QR codes, iPads and sports in high school


In Voionmaa high school, Finland, Jyväskylä,  was tested use of QR codes and iPads help of better gym training. Our sport teacher and ice hockey trainer Mika Lievonen made five weight training videos  which was linked with QR codes. We added codes in each gym equipment so our sport high school students can watch  example of good performance before training.
