QR Codes in Education
Have you ever seen one of these funny looking squares before? Your answer is probably yes. This little square is called a QR or quick response code. QR codes are everywhere, in retail stores, museums, etc. When these two-dimensional codes are scanned using a QR App, you are sent to a website or given information. So how can this be used in the classroom?
1. Use the codes as a way for students to retrieve answers to their problems of the day. Students could scan the code and the answer will pop up right in front of them.
2. Read the room. Attach QR codes to different pieces of furniture or learning stations you have in the classroom. During center time students can scan QR codes to help them identify the words for classroom objects.

Thanks for this post... This sounds like a interesting prospect. I plan to investigate the possibilities:)
