QR Codes
What are QR Codes?
QR Codes (or “Quick Response Codes”) are similar to bar codes. A QR Code is a digital image that can be scanned without the beam of light needed to scan barcodes at the grocery store.
QR Codes work in a variety of ways in the classroom: a physical activity with a QR Code Treasure Hunt, portable record of information, and easily access a website or information. What a way to change up a routine skill or activity!
QR Codes work with most of today’s mobile phones or tablets that have a built-in camera. All you need is a free QR Reader app and you have turned your mobile device into a sophisticated “bar code” reader!
