QR CODES

QR codes are a great tool to use in the classroom. The students are interested in them and always feel like they are solving a mystery. The uses for the codes are endless! Some of my favorites uses are scanning a code to link to a story, on the iPad, and scanning to solve word riddles.

The kids have been sharing with me their observations of QR codes in their environment. Recently, during lunch, the kiddos discovered a QR code on a box of raisins....excitement! This week for our morning meeting share topic, I would like the students to bring in a QR code that they find. HINT: The newspaper usually is a sure bet for finding a code. I realize the content of the codes won't always be of interest, to first graders, it's simply fun to share their discovery of a code!
