Get your students instantly taken to the variety of experiences and information with the help of QR codes. Paperless, easy and free. Here you will find the information on what is QR code and how to create it.
There are QR codes for specific books, codes linking to relevant reviews, trailers and additional resources. Those will modernize your teaching, save your classroom time and update your students. Tutorials, graded information and helpful links presented in QR codes can optimize your teaching to a mixed ability classroom. Let us see how QR codes can vary our teaching.
TL Presentation
Being creative and inspired teachers, we keep looking for some new ways of delivering information to our students. Imagine, once instead of writing on the blackboard or displaying a textbook page, you can hand out the QR codes to your students and tell them that they would find a new wordlist there. That will help to keep your students stay engaged into the self-research activity.
Reading
Libraries have endless uses for QR codes and we can use them in our lessons. Scannable book reviews, list of reading suggestions, biographies. Now your students can learn more about the book before they choose to read it. Imagine, pulling out the biography of Martin Luther King of the shelf, scanning a QR code and being instantly taken to the «I have a dream speech». This amazing interactivity brings back to life students` interest for reading.
Problem solving
Imagine that you have to complete a research about a famous person. You can create a bunch of QR codes leading to websites, YouTube videos, pictures, biography facts, your own opinion message, and even works of art connected to this person. You can dispose your QR codes everywhere in the classroom and organize a group work for completing this research using QR codes. Now enjoy watching your students collaborating, communicating, reading and watching information by using the safe websites and media that you have chosen for them to study the subject needed.
Dynamics
QR codes can be a really good way to combine technology with a bit of physical activity for problem solving tasks like quests and «looking for information» tasks.
Feedback
Creative teachers can use QR codes for positive reinforcement. Put up a poster in your classroom with numbered QR codes with each leading to a different message. When a student needs some feedback, tell them: «Please, scan number 5» and the message will say: «Great job! You did it!» It is so much more exciting for a student to get up from his seat, scan a code and interact with something. It is much more memorable!
Multimedia Content
A popular use for QR codes in education is to add multimedia content to hard copy pages. It is kind of like a stepping stone on our way to fully digitized textbooks and worksheets.
