"I bought the original Coda for Mac the minute Panic put it on sale and have used it day-in, day-out ever since. Coming from Macromedia/Adobe's Dreamweaver, it was a breath of fresh air.

The children will be using QR codes in the class from September. The children have so many different logins now - live@edu, edmodo, tutpup, superclubs etc. The QR code will be added to their lanyard so if [when] any passwords are forgotten, the password can be retrieved by scanning the QR code. A secure way for children to have all their passwords dangling round their neck. Any other ideas for QR codes in class welcome!
