What Do I Use QR Codes For?
Idea #1 – Self Checking Problems
This was my first experience with QR codes. I created task cards with QR codes to allow students to check their work. Students would solve the problems, then scan the code to check the answers.
Examples – Task cards, Scavenger Hunts

Idea #2 – Video Lessons
During a Science lesson, I created several videos. Students scanned the QR codes to watch the videos. Each video was about 2 minutes long and helped the students answer a question on their study sheet.

Idea #3 – Mystery Math Problems
I placed a number of cards around the classroom. Each card showed only a number. This number was the product of a multiplication problem. Students scanned the codes and solved the problem that was revealed. The product directed students to the next card.

What Do I Use QR Codes For?
Other Ideas:
• Have students create video book talks. Attach QR codes to the cover of the book in the library.
• Use Vocaroo (http://www.vocaroo.com) to make small audio clips. Attach QR codes to projects, such as artwork or book reports.
• Provide parents with contact information using QR codes.
