Code Readers- I-nigma or Red Laser
Ways to use QR Codes with students?
• Bibliography of student work- Create a page on your wiki or blog, or craft an email
or a handout to give to parents that includes links to student work. Along with the
links, put a QR code for each of the virtual projects. This way, viewers have the
option to view immediately via their smartphone, and if they are viewing a print
version, they don't have to enter the URL into a computer.
• Inspirational quote up in your classroom? Include a code that brings up a
photograph of the author.
• Have a classical poem up instead of a quote? Use a code that takes you to a
podcast of the poem.
• Music teachers can create codes that link to podcasts of classical music. When
you're playing a particular piece in class, attach the related code on the music
itself, so students can listen to the recording at home.
• Reports & Projects- With any assigned book or reading, include QR codes linking
to book reviews. Include codes to the online versions of your assignments, your
classroom's calendar of events with upcoming due dates, or related videos,
articles, etc.
