Probably my favorite parts of An Elegant Puzzle is the QR codes we created for each link as an exploration of how print and digital can comingle a bit more easily.
I’ve had a few questions about the process of adding a QR code to a photo book so today I’m sharing a quick how-to. Whether you’d like to add a link to an audio clip or movie file to your book, the steps are similar and quite easy. Adding Video Upload video file to an […]

Storyline Online is one of the best sites for viewing children's book read alouds. Let me share some details you might not know yet, and I'll throw in a helpful Freebie you'll use again and again. If you've looked on YouTube for kids books being read aloud you've found thousands of them. Any given children's book title usually has several different uploaded read aloud videos to choose from and there is a wide range in quality. I found Storyline Online this very way, while looking through all the YouTube videos for read alouds. Storyline Online is made possible by the Screen Actors Guild Foundation, SAG-AFTRA. It is absolutely free to use. As I write this they have over fifty children's picture book read aloud videos available. Here's a sample. Each video starts with the actor, or actors, holding the book and giving a book introduction before beginning to read. The camera zooms in on the illustrations, where often little parts of the pictures become animated. Throughout the story you go back and forth between seeing the illustrations and the actor reading the book, so kids never forget they are being read to. Fully animated video movies of children's books are great, to be sure, but it is easy to forget those cartoons come from books. I think when kids watch books being read by live people there is added value and emphasis on reading. Because I had always viewed the Storyline Online videos directly on YouTube, I didn't realize that there are activity guides written for each story, which you can only get on the Storyline Online site. The activity guides, written for teachers mostly, but some with activity guides specifically for parents, are chockfull of ideas– some suggest before, during and after the story discussion points, themes, writing ideas, art, movement, even cooking activities... all sorts of things to choose from. You can find them by going directly to StorylineOnline.net under the All Books tab. You can watch the Storyline Online read aloud videos on YouTube, but when watching on YouTube it is pretty easy to get to other videos and ads, some of which you wouldn't want your kids to view. You can also watch Storyline Online videos directly on StorylineOnline.net, with options of watching via YouTube or SchoolTube, with SchoolTube being the safer option. Either way you choose to watch on the Storyline Online site, when you get to the end of the video, other Storyline Online videos will pop up. That isn't a bad thing, unless you want kids to only watch one particular story, or you want other kids to use the same device and watch that one particular story. So to keep kids on the correct story I created QR codes for the stories through Safe YouTube. Click to download Safe YouTube QR Code cards for Storyline Online videos Safe YouTube is better than safe mode on YouTube, and it takes away all those many buttons and videos that cause distractions and allow kids to click and end up anywhere on YouTube. No online connection is completely safe and kids seem to find a way to other things no matter what, so always keep an eye on what they are watching. I created one for each story on Storyline Online, currently fifty three in total. You can print out the QR Code cards in color, or they come out crisp and clean if you choose to print in black and white. Laminate, cut apart, and you'll have a set of cards for kids to use on any device with a QR Code reader. It will take them to that story and no other. These work great in classrooms as centers, Daily 5 and Readers Workshop stations, and independent reading choices. If you're a parent you'll find them useful at home or on the road with devices. To get this Freebie just click on the picture of QR code cards above. There are six pages in all. I will update as I see new stories appear on Storyline Online. Be sure to Pin this post so you can get to updated pages. I suggest you cruise by StorylineOnline.net to see the full list of read aloud titles. I found many good books there, books I hadn't heard of before. I like to have actual copies of the books the kids are going to listen to, and I like to read the book to my students first, so I can make the most out of that read aloud– focusing on vocabulary, story problem, characters, etc. But if I'm low on cash, Storyline Online is a way to let my kidpeople hear quality books at no cost to me. Many of my favorite Flashlight Press books are there, too, and if you are a regular reader you know how I love Flashlight Press. (News Flash– I'll be giving away another Flashlight Book soon!!) Storyline Online has won lots of awards and that is for very good reason. Good book selections, VERY well read! Hope you found this post about Storyline Online and the activity guides helpful. And I hope you'll download the QR Code cards and find them useful with your kids. I am not being paid or getting any perk for telling you about Storyline Online. I just wanted to share a great resource. See you next time!
I’m a firm believer in making learning fun and interactive, and QR codes are the perfect tool to help us accomplish that. I’ve seen a dramatic increase in the level of student engagement since I began using QR codes a few years ago. Here are some of the ways I’ve incorporated QR codes over the years in both my second and fourth grade classrooms. Scavenger hunts have been a long-time staple during my math workshop. My students are very motivated by being able to move around the room while solving math problems. Since my scavenger hunts are different colors, I can leave several up at the same time to help me differentiate my lessons. Click HERE to get this base-10 block scavenger hunt for free and HERE to get a free upper-elementary lines and angles hunt. Another fun way to get your students moving is this I Spy QR codes activity. I have a bundle of 8 skills for primary HERE and upper elementary HERE and there is a freebie set linked within each respective bundle. The self-checking aspect of QR code task cards makes them a valuable tool to use in centers while I’m busy working with my small, guided groups. Students work on solving the problems independently and then scan the QR code to get immediate feedback. I’ll either place the cards in a table group or tape them around the room for a “Solve the Room” activity. Click HERE to get a set of free ELA mixed review task cards. In addition to task cards, I have created many self-checking QR code math centers. You can find several of these for free in my TpT store, including THIS free prime and composite number sort. THESE place value centers were a favorite with my second graders last year. Last year, I created audio QR code activities for practicing sight words. For the “Listen and Write” activity, students scan a QR code to hear my voice reading one of their sight words aloud. They then write the word they hear on the appropriate line of their recording sheet. I created the audio recordings using AudioBoom. When I taught 4th grade, we would often glue QR codes into our interactive notebooks so my students could watch video tutorials at home. Click HERE to get this place value interactive notebook page for free, along with the QR code that links to a Learn Zillion video. Last year, my 2nd graders created this place value mystery number bulletin board. Students walked up to the board to guess their classmates’ mystery numbers based on the clues given. They scanned the QR codes to tell them whether they were correct. Click HERE to get a free template so you can re-create this in your own classroom. Interactive QR bulletin boards are an exciting way to get students out of their seats and kids especially enjoy checking out their peers’ work. One very low prep idea is to have students create their own math word problems and then generate QR codes that reveal the answers. That way, students can solve their peers’ problems and then check their work by scanning the QR codes. We use qrstuff.com to create our QR codes and the free i-nigma app to scan them. My 4th graders’ “Books in the Spotlight” bulletin board stayed up all year in our classroom library. My students used either iMovie or Photobooth to create book trailers about a book from our classroom library. Students could come up to the board with an iPad and scan the code to get a good book recommendation from one of their peers. Every couple of months we switched out the books so there was always excitement over finding new books.

It's no surprise that I L.O.V.E technology especially my classroom set of iPads!! {Thank you Title 1!!!} This school year, I was asked to present at our districts Summer Institute about how I have integrated the use of iPads within the Daily 5 framework that I have come to adore! I decided after such great feedback from my presentations that I would share with all of you the great ways to use iPads. {Note: This can be used in any literacy centers, not just Daily 5!} This week I'm going to share with you how I used iPads for each area of Daily 5. Listen to Reading Today I'm going to start with my favorite use of iPads for Listen to Reading. I think listening to reading is VITAL for students reading comprehension, fluency, and a great way for them to fall head over heels in LOVE with reading. In a perfect world I would do 3 or more read alouds a day...however I am lucky if I get one or two in! Get ready because I have found the best FREE way to have a classroom full of books for a listening center! Video Tutorial For those of you that are like me and need to see it in action, I created a video tutorial that goes through the steps of creating the recording and the QR Code. I tried to talk super fast and not have my "teacher" voice but after 4 attempts to get it under 5 minutes..."ya get what ya get!' =) Step by Step Directions STEP 1: There is a free website called Record MP3 that allows you to record ANYTHING you want. This is where I record myself reading books from the my classroom library. STEP 2: All you have to do is press RECORD. When you are done reading, press STOP. {Easy right!} STEP 3: Then play it back and if you like it press SAVE RECORDING and if you don't press START OVER. Once you press SAVE RECORDING, the next screen will show you the URL link where your recording is saved. It looks like this.... STEP 4: From here you can either copy the link or save it to your computer. I usually do both just to be on the safe side! So from here is where it gets really fun! STEP 5: COPY the link, open a new table with a QR Code Generator. Copy and paste the link into the text box, make sure the you have chosen STATIC and then press generate STATIC. VOILA...It has created a QR Code with your voice recording. STEP 6: copy and paste it into a word document and PRINT. STEP 7: Then cut out the QR Code and attach it to the book {clear packing tape works best and you can still scan through the tape} and you are done! On the iPad {or any device} use a scan app to scan the QR Code. I use SCAN that can be found for free in the App Store. Your recording will "magically" appear and your babes can listen to you read their favorite book over and over. PARENT INVOLVEMENT One way I like to get parents involved {even if they can't come in to the classroom} is to send home the Record MP3 url. From home, parents can record themselves reading a book, copy the link from the Record MP3 website and e-mail it back to me. Then I can make the QR code and surprise their child! When this is a secret mission between me and the parents, the kids get so crazy excited to hear their mom or dad's voice! ** I hope this is useful for you! Like I said, this can be used in so many different ways in the classroom. Comment below to share how you use this {or would like to use this} in your classroom!

After writing last week's post, How to Create a Listening Center Using the Audioboo App & QR Codes, we thought it might help to show you an example of one we made and give you a few extra tips to make it work in your class. I LOVE the Froggy books by Jonathan London, so I created a FREE listening center card to accompany our Froggy Goes to School Sequencing Activity. (Please excuse my Texas twang...Haha!) Click the picture on the right to download the listening center card for free. Once you've printed/cut/laminated the listening center card, you should: Download a QR reader to the smart device(s) your students will be using in the listening center. Obtain a copy of Froggy Goes to School from your personal collection, school library, public library, local book store, or online, and place it in your listening center. Suggested storage - Glue an index card sized library pocket on the inside cover of the book. Place the listening center card inside the pocket. Place the smart device in your listening center, along with some headphones/earbuds (make sure the device is connected to the Internet). If you'd like multiple students to listen to the story at the same time from the same device, consider purchasing a headphone splitter. Train students how to operate the smart device, QR reader, and the listening center. Then, your students should: Scan the QR code using the QR reader on the smart device located in the listening center. Put on the headphones/earbuds. Press play and follow along with the book. Note: A train "choo-choo" will sound to alert students to turn the page. We hope you enjoy our free listening center card. Comment below or email us at [email protected] if you have any questions. We'd love to hear from you! ~Heather Watson Works

We've all seen students who struggle to find a book they are interested in. This collection of QR codes can be scanned with a smart device such as an iPod with a QR code reader, and the students can see the movie trailer that will "hook" them into reading the book. This collection of movie trailers is aimed at older elementary to middle grade readers. You can cut the QR codes out and put them inside library books or classroom library books, or even make a display of them organized by genre in your classroom. Before purchasing, please make sure your district allows the Safe Share website. I took YouTube book trailer videos and created the QR link to a safe sharing site so that students will not see suggested videos or advertisements. If your school district blocks the Safe Share website, ask them to review and unblock it (mine did!). Book Trailers included in Set 1: Because of Winn-Dixie Ramona and Beezus Judy Moody Guardians of Ga'Hoole Harry Potter and the chamber of Secrets The Indian in the Cupboard Charlotte's Web Hotel for Dogs Holes

„QR-Codes bergen ein grosses Potential für die multimediale Lehre“ (Prof. Dr. Jäger) QR-Codes sind im Alltag fast überall anzutreffen. Ob auf Plakaten, Lebensmittelverpackungen, in Zeitungen, auf Autos und Visitenkarten, sie scheinen ihren Siegeszug unaufhaltsam angetreten zu haben. Doch gerade in der Hochschullehre fristen sie eher ein Schattendasein und werden kaum beachtet. Prof. Dr. Jäger forscht seit Jahren auf dem Gebiet der QR-Codes. Neben Anwendungsmöglichkeiten untersucht er auch die Meinung der Nutzer. Dies sind die Studierenden auf der einen Seite und die Dozenten auf der anderen Seite. Die Ergebnisse im Hinblick auf die Meinungsbilder sind überraschend klar. Es werden diverse Anwendungsmöglichkeiten in und um die Lehre an Hochschulen vorgestellt. Dabei wird auf einen umfangreichen Erfahrungsschatz zurückgegriffen und auch auf Anwendungshindernisse und Anwendungsgefahren verwiesen.
