Using QR Codes in the Classroom

Recently in my Power Tools class, we had to choose two technology resources that are useful to teachers. One my of resources that I reviewed and critiqued is QR codes. QR codes are kind of like barcodes, but when scanned they lead to different types of information. This includes, websites, text, images, audio, video, addresses, and map addresses. They can be scanned from iPod, iPhone, Android phone, and iPad using a variety of apps. They can also be created. I created a unique QR code for each one of my classmates to demonstrate how QR codes work. I created them using the site http://goqr.me.
