So this week I explored QR codes and discovered that they are very easy to create. I used qrstuff.com and loved the two easy steps, three if you want to design a logo or image into it. The resource I embedded in the QR code above is a Youtube video of Karen Mensing in a TEDActive explaining how to use QR codes in the classroom. I feel that many of her ideas can be adapted when teaching during the pandemic with distance learners. I also liked that she included an idea or two about using them in the school library. The use of QR codes on your school’s virtual learning platforms will allow students to have additional videos and reference materials (maps, glossaries, etc.). My favorite idea would be a scavenger hunt; I suggest using virtual tours as a way to explore more places of the world when teaching a skill to students. This may aid in reducing the feeling of cabin fever that we all have some days.

QR codes for scavenger hunts are so much fun! The kids love the opportunity to use their phones. And, for kids who don’t have phones, they can use their Chromebook if you are in a 1:1 school.
Hey Lucinda!
I didn’t even consider using them in the virtual environment- maybe I can find a way to incorporate that into my next lesson. Thanks for the suggestion!
