QR Codes in the Classroom

Looking to get started with QR codes in the classroom?  If your first question is....what are QR codes, you are not alone.  These little blocks of data are a lot more common than what we think.  They are probably already on your worksheets, flyers or information that you are giving to students.  So what is a QR Code?  Consider it a website shortcut.  A quick way of launching your web browser to a specific website or webpage.  If you have ever tried to get a student to type in a specific web address, you know why these little things were invented.  Scan the code with a QR Reader and you are sent off to whatever page it is linked to.  It can be a page, a form, a video, even a game.  Looking for an engaging way to get students to information without having to give them a web address.  Next time, look no further than a QR Code.  Below are some of my recommendations on QR Code Creators as well as Scanners.
