5 Creative Uses for QR Codes in the Elementary Classroom
I love using QR codes to make my task cards more exciting and interesting. They are so easy to make and even easier to use.
This past Thursday, our district held our first ever Digital Days!! This day was used for technology training for our district. The district technology team and other tech savy staff members in our district provided the trainings. I provided a training on "Coding Your Classroom Using QR Codes". I wanted to share a few of the products that were developed during our training. In my earlier post, I shared suggestions for a second grade classroom. The following ideas are geared toward a Kindergarten class. This teacher decided to create a Shape Scavenger Hunt. Students will scan the first clue. After they hear the voice activated clue, they will search around the room for an object that matches the clue. Once they find the object, they will find the next clue. Students will carry around the following worksheet and draw pictures or write the name of the object they found that matched the clue. Thanks Julianne Surratte!! The same teacher also created a "Can You Name That Shape?" worksheet. Students will scan the clue. After they hear the voice activated clue, they will write or draw a picture for their answer. Students will then cut out a picture from a magazine that matches the shape. Thanks Julianne Surratte!! This teacher created voice activated vocabulary cards. Thanks Caitlin Jones!! What a fun way to engage students in math and reading!! :)

QR codes are being used more across the world and especially in learning. There is a great opportunity for students to create and use QR codes on the iPad to extend learning across a range of curriculum subjects and specifically for demonstrating understanding of their own work or extending their understanding of a topic. I particularly like the ideas in the following video which links the use of QR codes with digital storytelling to engage, inform and promote. Have a look at 'Sukiennice "Secrets Behind Paintings"' : Using QR codes in learning Download our QR codes in Learning document (click on the image opposite) for an overview of QR codes and ideas to use them in learning Download our QR Code Learning Quest document to look at a sample QR code hunt using clues to books to inform, orientate and engage users in locating and sourcing resources for their learning. See how Parramatta Marist Br Ludovic Learning Centre is using QR codes. Reading (Scanning) QR Codes You will need a smartphone or tablet with a camera as well as a Qr reader App. For basics we recommend QRset (free) but there are lots of others available. However a better one is QRafter (free) as it will also check the QR code link for safety and will keep a list of the QR code links you have scanned, providing students a history of their scans. Creating Qr codes Websites Use Safari on the iPad to get students to create QR codes for free via a QR code generator website like Kaywa. Apps QRafter Pro allows you to create and scan QR code. But if your would like your students to get creative and colourful with the look of their QR codes try the QR Code Art App. Use QR codes to get more out of your school staff meetings/professional learning We recently held a staff meeting where instead of sitting down for hours to hear all the latest information, we armed people with iPads and a QR code quest. With 10 questions to answer staff moved around the building in teams to find QR codes. Upon scanning the codes with their iPads or smartphones, they were directed to information to read web based information or view videos on important information that all staff needed to know. Then we all met back at the meeting venue to share and feedback with a reward for the first team back with the correct answers. For more about QR codes, how they are being used in teaching and learning and other resources see Learning Exchanges QR codes for Learning.
This week, I decided to finally give QR codes a try. Turns out, they are amazing and incredibly easy to create! During our leisure time, our students can choose to play on the iPad as their reward for

Displaying student work in elementary classrooms is important to build community, foster pride for work, and anchor student learning. However as we move to more digital projects and portfolios, sometimes we struggle to display all of the amazing work students are doing. QR codes are the perfect way to bridge the gap between digital work and real world bulletin boards as visitors can scan on any device and see the work. However, creating QR codes in bulk for each of your students can be a process on the majority of URL paste sites. I'm going to share an amazing tool
