QR codes can be used in the classroom to provide students quick access to online resources and information by scanning digital images with their smartphones. Teachers can create QR codes that link to chosen websites to eliminate typing long URLs and save time, such as for inclusion classes or occupational therapy. Classroom activities using QR codes include scavenger hunts where students scan codes to find online resources and lists of top websites for research projects.
