TodaysMeet Watch this: Google Docs can automatically generate QR Codes Did you know that Google Docs has support for QR codes built-in? That’s right, if you know the right function, the Spreadsheets app can generate QR codes with whatever inputs you like. Don’t believe us? Watch this video for the feature in action: As you can see, there are four input columns (First Name, Last Name, Phone, and Email) that are combined into the output column (QR Code).

Gary's Social Media Count Click for App Store Page Original Counter and Post from 24 Sep 2009! June 2013 ‘Social’ Update (mobile, games & heritage to come) June 2012 ‘Social’ Update August 2011 Update ABOUT Living statistics – Many of us who have been following social media since the early 90s are very sensitive to today’s exponential growth in usage of the sharing web. If you want to embed this on your page just click the button in the bottom left of the app to copy the code to your clipboard OR use the code/s in the boxes at the bottom of this post. More about the Count – I quickly built and coded the app based on data culled from a range of social media sources & sites originally at the end of Sept 2009. The social web has exploded in the last year and below are some of the social media statistics based on key data points that the ‘Gary’s Social Media Count’ is based on (many will be updated!).

Créer des livres enrichis : un usage des QRcodes pour aider à mener un questionnement autonome en lecture L’intention de cet atelier est de proposer à tout enseignant qui souhaite accompagner un apprenti lecteur de créer simplement des enrichissements de livres papier afin d’améliorer les stratégies de lecture et à d’enrichir l’imaginaire. Les participants seront invités à découvrir des moyens de produire, sans compétence technique particulière, des albums enrichis au moyen de QRCodes (ces codes permettent lorsqu’on les scanne à l’aide d’un Smartphone ou d’une tablette d’accéder de manière instantanée à des contenus numériques associés). Nous échangerons ensuite sur les bases théoriques qui sous-tendent les enrichissements proposés : ceux-ci sont en partie inspirés du travail de Maryse Brumont* sur les diverses stratégies pour conduire les élèves à devenir des lecteurs autonomes. Il s’agira par exemple d’utiliser le questionnement sur les inférences, mais d’autres perspectives pourront être envisagées comme les possibilités de lectures en constellation par exemple. lu : 4782 fois
