Today at Teacher Tech Friday, we dove head first into the world of QR codes. They can be used for everything. Creating a code is so simple. I always suggest using a free code generator you can try this or this. You can create codes using YouTube links, images from your computer, any URL link, or even music files. I suggest scanning the code with the I-gnigma app; it is fast, accurate and available for iPhone and Google users!
Here are a few suggestions on how to use QR Codes in the classroom: QR Code Library Create QR codes YouTube read aloud links. This is a great idea if your classroom library is lacking reading material. Scavenger Hunt Try jazzing up the traditional scavenger hunt using QR codes. Create scannable questions that lead students to the next stop on the hunt. Math Equations QR codes make it easy to differentiate, because there is no text visible to read. Pass out QR codes and have students answer by writing the sum, difference, product, or the quotient. Digital Homework Help save trees by wasting less paper. Send home only a QR code and the students can scan to find out their assignment (which is digital, of course). Honestly the list can go on and on. Get creative and let me know how you're using QR codes in your classroom. Until next Friday!

6 May - I used the QR Code to create a quiz on Kahoot. After reading our Guided Reading texts, one of the groups took a quiz that I prepared early that morning. Using the iPads, students used the QR Code to access the Kahoot account. The we began the quiz. After each question, we were able to discuss the answers and expand on their comprehension by using evidence from the text. After the quiz, students created their own questions and took another quiz. The technology made the lesson so much more exciting, new, and interactive. I already have plans to create a Kahoot quiz for my other Guided Reading group! Thanks Brittany!

On Tuesday, it was raining and I couldn't do my soccer club outside. I went on to you tube and got three links of cool football skills and created QR codes for them and had my students watch them on their ipads.
