Tech Tac Toe tool 1 - QR Codes

What is QR Code?

QR Code simply stands for quick response. It is a scannable image in the form of barcode used to take informations. QR Codes can be read using smart phones and other devices that link directly to text, email, website, and more.

QR Code in the classroom:

 QR Codes are great ways to capture the attention of students and make teaching and learning more interactive and fun. The following are some QR Code generators that are simple to use:

Sample QR Code lesson:

This is a QR Code lesson I created for my 2nd grader to practice her spelling words from school. In this lesson, I made QR Codes for the spelling words (start, spark, farm, park, art, dark, and part) and displayed them on a wall. My daughter was then presented with the sheet below and an iPad to scan the codes to find and write the spelling word the match each clue.
 1. To begin
 2. Where pigs and cows live
 3. Not bright
 4. Not whole
 5. A grassy area
 6. A painting
 7. A flash of light



















 Experience: I found this tool cool and easy to use in the classroom once you become familiar with it. It was interesting how I used QR Codes to capture my eight years old daughter's attention and to get her to perform tasks and assignments from school.
Using QR codes is  fun and exciting way to help facilitate childrens' learning both at home and school. It can be used in many different ways and for different things to moltivate and encourage learning. I do recommend this tool for teachers of all grade to make learning and teaching easier, interactive, and fun. Tech Tac Toe tool 1 - QR Codes
