Online Qr Lab - QR Codes In Schools QR codes refer to a special type of bar code that can contain a lot of information. This type of code includes many black and white squares arranged into a single square on a white background. This code can contain several different types of data. It was first used in the automotive industry to track parts but of late QR codes have begun to be used in restaurants, stores, schools, and more. These codes can contain additional information that can supplement text and lessons. The student simply needs to scan the code, normally with a mobile phone that has the proper reading application. One particular advantage to using QR codes in schools is the possibility for better student and faculty interaction. Besides providing additional study information these codes can be used to direct students to web pages providing information on school policy, videos, school web pages and more. QR codes may also be utilized by parents to keep track of their students’ progress.

5 Real Ways To Use QR Codes In Education QR codes… Disposable fad? Or useful technology? Opinions on whether QR codes are of real value is a hotly debated topic. But regardless of polarized views on the technology, there are some teachers using QR codes in education in some very inventive and exciting ways. QR codes have been in use since 1994 when they were created to track vehicles during manufacturing. Growing in popularity in recent years with the explosion of camera equipped smart-phones, the codes are now being used to link real world objects with all sorts of online data and information.

I’ve seen the funny little codes in magazines and advertisements, and I understood that if you had an app on your phone you could scan them and get…somewhere. Beyond that I didn’t give them much thought. However, it seems I’ve been reading about them everywhere recently and they really can have some practical uses – even in the classroom .

You don’t need an app or a mobile device to generate codes – you can make them for free online at many sites. Then I decided that since those apps were free (and easy), I’d put them on my middle school students’ iPads – also easy. How Students Used QR Codes The first thing they did was use the reader on my code I’d put by the door. They had posted these short films on their blogs. Why Should You Try This?

Je m'appelle Madame: Using QR Codes to Enhance Learning A teacher in the Spanish department was using QR codes the other day around her classroom and it got me thinking... what could I do with QR codes to enhance my lessons? Of course, once I start thinking about ideas, my mind doesn't shut off and I want to try it RIGHT NOW. We are fortunate enough to have a set of iPads in the library that can be checked out to teachers. Each iPad has a barcode reader on it that also reads the QR codes. I gave it a whirl today with my French 1s. They are currently learning clothing and adjective vocabulary, so I gave them a sheet with 20 different people on it wearing different things. This was an awesome activity. What I love about this is you can do QR codes with just about anything! You can also do QR codes that, when scanned, will speak to the students too.
