The payoff requires a lot of steps. <br /><br />I think the idea's pretty cool, but from a practical standpoint, it doesn't add up in my mind.Peter Baronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490493015429543144.post-63703047206745196102011-07-15T14:37:56.111-04:002011-07-15T14:37:56.111-04:00I have to say even with a lot of the ideas I am no...I have to say even with a lot of the ideas I am not completely sold on them. In a lot of cases where I have heard them used it would seem easier to list a URL for the item or site you are liking to. This way you wouldn't be excluding all those that either don't have a QR code reader or have any idea what it is.<br /><br />In an environment where everyone has a reader there could be and I am sure is use for them. But I still question the use.<br /><br />I once heard someone point out that these codes have been around for 10 years or so to point out that it isn't something new... my counter would be that they still haven't caught on.<br /><br />I'll stay tuned, because I am still looking for my "a-ha" moment with them.William Stiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827543166439192298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490493015429543144.post-73074749801901917332011-07-14T09:10:23.031-04:002011-07-14T09:10:23.031-04:00While I can't claim credit for this idea, I re...While I can't claim credit for this idea, I really like it -- language teachers could tag various objects in their room with QR codes which could be text in the foreign language or link to audio/video of correct pronunciation.<br /><br />Similarly, for a geometry lesson, classroom objects could be tagged with QR codes with the area or volume or other measurements.<br /><br />For science or math application (word) problems, a QR code could be added linking a video of the concept. This could be especially useful if there are students who are non-native English speakers.Heatherhttp://teaching21c.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490493015429543144.post-55061798745386217652011-07-14T08:22:07.068-04:002011-07-14T08:22:07.068-04:00I am very excited to start using QR codes in the c...I am very excited to start using QR codes in the classroom! After talking with Sarah Hanawald I will be putting QR codes on homework assignments. I typically print and copy solutions but now I can link it to a video explaining the problem,the solution or a just a hint!Shanel Hinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490493015429543144.post-18714299362108308402011-07-14T07:23:21.177-04:002011-07-14T07:23:21.177-04:00Heather, thanks for your comment.

A link to student art work for additional information not only of the work but the artist themselves could revolutionize how we also view galleries and museums.Hiram Cuevashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065042416011309025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490493015429543144.post-15190652876989193562011-07-13T22:21:33.555-04:002011-07-13T22:21:33.555-04:00I think you hit the nail on the head when you say ...I think you hit the nail on the head when you say QR codes "can provide considerably more content than spectators can imagine." They really are a very efficient way to convey content.<br /><br />Students could put them on a poster for a project to link to video, graphics, a map, etc. for more information.<br /><br />Flyers advertising various activities (bake sale, community service project, dance performance, play-off game) posted around school could have codes with text reminders of where and when the activity will take place. <br /><br />At my school, teachers are required to have homework assignments posted online but are also generally expected to post upcoming due dates in the classroom as well. I was thinking about posting QR codes linking each class's assignment list too.Heatherhttp://teaching21c.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490493015429543144.post-86483527616898973232011-07-13T09:47:29.053-04:002011-07-13T09:47:29.053-04:00WD,

The QR's could give artist info or link to online digital portfolios or a class website with project details. Great for open house art displays as parents/students walk through!wdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815587974143979249noreply@blogger.com
