Earlier this fall, one of my 'Idea of the Week' links was about QR Codes. Now that we have iPads in our classrooms, teachers' interest in QR Codes is growing. QR Codes are such a nice way to provide quick easy access to web content. Here are 2 examples of how they might be used....
The students in the picture to the left are using a QR Code displayed on a screen to access a link to TodaysMeet to join a discussion about a book they are reading. No URLs to type - just a simple SCAN and you're there!
I was excited to see the bulletin board below in a Grade 5 classroom. The QR Codes here provide access to sites with information about Sir John A MacDonald and Piet Mondrian.
Try creating displays that include posters, books, magazines, maps and QR Codes - it's a nice way to provide a resource-rich, technology-enhanced environment for young learners!
