Download a QR Code Scanner:
First, download a QR code scanner for the student devices. The app I suggest is i-nigma.Classroom Activities
- Vocaroo - Use Vocaroo to record a message to your class or directions to a test (or homework). Then, select the QR code that links students to your Vocaroo recording.
- ClassTools - Create a QR code scavenger hunt with questions associated with each QR code.
- QRStuff - This site just has a lot of options for using QR codes.
- Delivr - Delivr is a QR code generator that shortens your URL at the same time. When a URL is too long, the QR code becomes more complex.
- QRHacker - Allows users to add images or change the colors.
- Google Forms - Have students or parents link to a Google From Online.
- Link QR codes to websites like MathTrain or Khan Academy for assistance with math concepts.
- Link students to a message of the day recorded at QR Voice or Record mp3.
- 75 Ways to Say Good Job: A QR Enabled Poster - Use QR codes to link to online praise for the students.
- Do Try This at Home - On this blog, the author has posted several QR code related worksheets. If the student needs assistance on solving a problem, the QR code will link them to additional support.
- BingoBaker - Create bingo boards for students. For instance, right your content area words on the board and callout the definitions for students to mark. If you link students to your specific Bingo sheet, they get a unique bingo sheet every time the QR code is scanned.
Work from Leaders of Thought
Last week, I read and watched two oldies but goodies. The first was an older blog post by Cool Cat Teacher on using QR codes, and I also watched the Learning in Hand podcast from Tony Vincent on using QR codes in the classroom. I would suggest reading her blog post and watching Tony’s podcast.
How can you integrate QR codes into your classroom?
