Things you can do later...
- Create stations using QR codes. Place a QR code on each table with different activities or problems to complete.
- Use a QR code that connects to an online flyer advertising a school event - this way people have the information from your flyer stored in their phone.
- A great way to display work in the hallways - work can be online student work or pictures of student work.
- Book trailers - students can create electronic book trailers and you can post the QR codes in the hallways, around the library or even outside the doors to the library.
- Library - students and teachers could create videos or podcasts with a commercial to advertise books in the library. A QR code could be generated and attached inside the front cover of the book. When students come to the library and wonder if they would enjoy a book, then they can scan the QR code inside to listen to or view the commercial.
- QR codes that link to the answers for the daily homework. You could have the QR code posted in the room when students walk in the classroom and they can immediately begin checking their work.
- Use a QR code to link students to extra materials to extend/enhance their learning - for example videos or websites that go along with the day's learning.
- Add a QR code to math worksheets/homework/assignments, etc that will guide students to a video tutorial showing them how to solve that type of problem.
- Add QR codes to the direction sheets of research projects that will link students to databases and online encyclopedias so students have a place to begin searching.
- Math - give students some data on a worksheet that needs to go into a graph. Then add a QR code that will lead students to an online graphing website so they can graph the information.
- Use QR codes around the building as part of a virtual tour of the building - they could all be color coded in a certain color that indicates it is part of the virtual tour.
- Make displays interactive. For example - add QR codes to a science fair project board to bring in digital media along with the printed media.
- Math - use QR codes to act as prices tied to objects. Math or other classes can have a more realistic virtual store where kids can scan the objects to find out the price.
- Reading - create a choose your own adventure reading experience using QR codes. Students have to make choices about which code to scan which then shapes the story they read. You can have codes located in different areas to encourage movement as students read through the story. You could also flip this around and have students create the choose your own adventure story using QR codes to post and share with others and it becomes a writing activity.
- Social Studies - You could tie in GPS and QR codes. Create a scavenger hunt type activity with a bunch of different questions. Students use the GPS coordinates and their GPS to find each QR code, then scan the code and receive the question they must answer.
