QR Codes

• QR codes are a great and fun way for students to self check their work, answer questions on work, advertise for upcoming events throughout the school, scavenger hunts, or so many more options. The list is endless with the various ways teachers can use QR codes. 
• Most devices already have a QR codes reader or a barcode scanner right on them, so this makes the activity easy for students to access. If the device does not have an already installed reader, they are easily downloaded from 
• http://www.qrstuff.com/ is great and easy site for students and teachers to utilize to create QR codes for various activities. 
• I would love to implement QR Codes for my library. I have approximately 250 new library books that the school purchased and I would like to create a QR Code listing all of the new books that were purchased! This way the students can easily scan through the list to see if any of the new titles catch their interest. This code can be made available right at the entrance of the library. I would also like to create come QR codes detailing some of the books. I could even have my students involved in this endeavor. They could read a book, write a short summary/book report about it, create a QR code, and then attach it to the book for other students to scan and read! 
• Most of the QR programs do not have a cost associated with it.
