QR codes are one of the bigger technologies that many SBTS are trying to pull into the classroom lately. I know of one elementary SBTS who has covered the school in them. The only difficulty with them in elementary school is the mandate that if we see a student with their phone out that we have to take it from them. The Bring Your Own Device initiative has been helpful with many students and helping to try and bridge the technology gap in schools. However, we still need to try and find other ways to get students connected electronically if they cannot bring their own devices. iPads in the library or iPods could help this situation.
Here are two QR codes that I created for my blog this week.
This first QR code will take you to the site we have been working with a lot in LIBS 602, Good Reads. I never thought about an electronic way to keep track of books that I have enjoyed and could then grab them for students with reviews. It is a great site.
This second QR code will take you to a site that will read a sentence to you. This is a very cool thing for students to do in the classroom to add a quick description to a piece of work in the hallway. What a great idea for a Back to School Night or a Literacy Night.
