The 6th day of Apps

We are half way through the 12 days of Apps....

So here we go with #6. 
QR codes

There are a variety of QR apps that you can use.  I use I-nigma or QR Reader for iPad either are excellent.



QR (Codes Quick Response) are so fun to integrate into the classroom. Quick Response codes are bar codes with information. QR Codes can include contact information, websites, text, SMS, pictures and so much more. 
Students enjoy using QR codes in their activities.
QR Codes are so easy to create.  QR Stuff is the easiest site to use to create codes… In 3 steps and voila and you are done. Download your code and insert it into any document or presentation. The best thing about using and creating QR codes is that it is all free. Students must have access to either of these devices a smart phone, iPad, or iPod download a bar code scanner to access codes. 
Check out these websites for ways in which you can use QR codes in your classroom.
