QR Code Creativity In the Classroom


1. First, press the “anything key” (i.e. the search key) on your Chromebook to pull up the app launcher.

2. Next, search for “camera” and click on the camera icon.

This is the standard camera app that is pre-installed on every Chromebook.

3. Look for “scan” at the bottom of the camera window. Once you are in scan mode, you will see an option for “QR Code.”

4. Hold up a QR code so that it fits in the square displayed on the screen. A link will automatically be displayed at the top of the camera app.

5. Click on the link to open it up on a browser, or click the copy icon so that you can easily paste the link into another application.
