Thing 10

A QR code or quick response code is a two dimensional barcode that reads both vertically and horizontally. Some ideas for using the QR code with students is to have an interactive bulletin board of a map with codes hung on parts of the map to lead to more information about a continent or a state or even Underground Railroad route or the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Or if you have a skeleton in the class, put QR codes on it that leads to more information about certain bones in the body. I have chosen to use QR codes in my Tech Open House brochure. I participate in an annual afterschool Tech Open House at each of our thirteen schools. These are the codes that are in this years brochure along with a screenshot of the inside page of the brochure. The brochure also includes an insert with textbook site addresses.
