I came across QR Codes (quick reader codes) a few weeks ago and learned how to use them and have been seeing them everywhere! I blogged about them in "My Digital Footprint is a Barcode" and have recently been researching ways to use them in the classroom. Here are some ways you could use them in your classroom:
1. Print to Audio:
3. Adding QR Codes to an assignment so students can check their answers.
7. Create a print art project and add animation in a particular spot by adding a QR Code. Here is an example of how advertisers are doing this. "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.
