Twelve Ideas for Teaching with QR Codes
As mobile learning
becomes more and more prevalent, we must find effective ways to leverage mobile
tools in the classroom. As always, the tool must fit the need. Mobile learning
can create both the tool and the need. With safe and specific structures,
mobile learning tools can harness the excitement of technology with the purpose
of effective instruction. Using QR codes for instruction is one example of
this.
A Quick Tutorial
QR stands for
Quick Response. It's basically a quick, scannable barcode-like image that takes
you to a specific digital destination. The one to the right, for example, will
take you to a QR code generator. There you will be able to create all sorts of
QR codes. (Feel free to search the web for them.) Before that, however, you
will need an app that reads the QR codes. There are plenty of free QR code apps
to download for Android and Apple Products. Just search.
