Tech Tip Tuesday: QR Codes

Where will this QR Code take you?

During one of our recent learning walks, one teacher's take away was a reminder that he needs to be more conscious of incorporating opportunities for movement into all of his classes, even if that just means getting students out of their desks for a minute or two. Using QR codes is one way to get students up and moving. Here are some resources that will help you get started or perhaps provide you with some new ideas if you're already using them.

Here are a few quick ideas for getting started with QR Codes (from freetech4teachers.com):

• What QR Codes Can Do for You!
• Three Ways to Make Useful QR Codes for Your Students (includes info about the QR Treasure Hunt Generator)

For a more in-depth, philosophical and pedagogical discussion of this strategy, I recommend "QR Codes: Pushing the Narrative on Scannables" from Edutopia. 

If you are using QR codes in a lesson, let me know. Your colleagues would love to see this strategy in action!
