A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon QR Codes (Quick Response codes) and quickly discovered their widespread use. Intrigued by their potential, I shared my findings in a blog post titled "My Digital Footprint is a Barcode." Since then, I've been actively exploring ways to integrate them into the classroom. Here are some innovative ways you could leverage QR Codes in your educational setting:
3. Adding QR Codes to an assignment so students can check their answers.
7. Design a print art project and incorporate animation into a specific area by integrating a QR code. Here's an example of how advertisers are implementing this technique in their "Print Campaigns."
What ideas would you add to this list?

Place a QR code on a worksheet that links to a video explaining the key concepts.
Can also be used on a field trip. Place QR codes at certain locations. Scan the link which takes you to information about what is being viewed.
Having students build their own QR codes would be a neat activity for problem solving. You could use the codes to build a collaborative math center where they could solve the problems that others had created.
I don't know about in the US, but in Canada, the government designed a QR Code generator embedded in our passport application PDFs. It's supposedly secure, but you can see it change as you add information to the form: http://www.ppt.gc.ca/form/index.aspx?lang=eng
I imagine we'll be seeing a lot more of this type of application, since it saves time on data entry and is less error-prone.
Thanks for sharing the ways that qr codes can be used to engage students in their learning. It is truly awesome to be a part of the unlimited ways that technology can enhance learning.
