Using QR codes in the classroom

So I shared a picture of my QR code wall on my Facebook page and teachers just went nuts! So many emails and messages asking where can they get them from, how do they download them, where can they make their own?

QR codes are amazing little things that take students to a specific web page, URL or place on the internet that you want them to view, listen to or watch. In this specific example, I use it for Listen to reading in my literacy programe. I created 10 books that my students LOVED into QR codes and downloaded the Dr Seuss ones from an educator off Twitter, Sara Malchow. 

Since creating these at the beginning of the year, students are so independent finding and listening to the books they love. And when they have been around for awhile, I can quickly create some more with new books!

Here is a very short and simple video that I created showing you how easy it is to create your own QR codes and cute little background pictures. These could be done for anything really in your class - books, videos, information videos for writing, topic studies! It really isn't limited!

Don't want to make your own? Check out the PDFs below of some that I have made that you can use in your classroom!
