Great digital tool to show students how to scan qr codes

This is a great way to use technology and get the students involved in their learning from the first day of class. In the beginning it is an Augmentation level of SAMR since the students are learning from the QR codes by hearing the words that relate to the object. This lesson is then raised to the Modification level of SAMR when the students start creating their own QR Codes and recording their voices and pronouncing the words. The students are sharing this with each other in the classroom and with other classes of the same language as well as other students in the school that are using that classroom.

It is very easy to make QR codes with the QR Droid. They can be saved multiple ways and attached to links for later use. Its a great way to flip the classroom and get students actively involved in their learning.

I love using QR Codes. It is simple to use and I can not only make a QR Code from a URL, but I can also make a QR Code with content that I create. Students love it because they are portable, that is they can scan the QR Code and have the information with them in their device. No dragging home bulky books or loose papers. QR Codes are invaluable tools for blended learning and Flipped classrooms.
