QR codes can be combined into so many different activities to encourage active learning. I would love to incorporate the QR codes into an escape room. I have done a lot of digital escape rooms, but not too many physical ones. QR codes can also be used for students to share information and collect it. For instance, this opens up a new opportunity for collecting feedback and peer revisions. It can also allow students to create interactive presentations. Maybe with some guidance and working in groups, they could create their OWN escape rooms their classmates can partake in.

Not only did this physically allow students to move and explore their space for kinesthetic learners, it also activated their minds in different ways. It taught them problem-solving and critical thinking through the mystery words and explored technology by allowing them to design their own version using what they learned about quotes and QR codes.

Fourth graders were introduced to what a quote is through a carrousel activity. Famous quotes were placed around the room, but a word was missing. The students had to solve the mystery words through the use of the QR codes that were posted alongside the poems. Kids later created their own mystery word quotes and QR codes with the use of QRstuff.com and a step-by-step guide.

Recently I came across a resource through my PLN (Professional Learning Network) on Twitter that gave me an idea for Black History Month. If you are an educator and you are not on Twitter we need to talk!

Using a resource shared by James Gubbons that was originally created by Tony Vincent I decided to introduce QR Codes to the 4th grade students. We talked about what a "quote" was and referenced some famous quotes. I brought the iPads in and displayed some of the mystery quotes from Tony's website around the room. The students worked in pairs to scan the QR codes to find missing words from famous quotes. For today's purposes I only used quotes from African Americans.

The students then created their very own quotes, with "mystery" missing parts just like the ones we scanned. I demonstrated how to create a QR code using QRStuff.com and created a step by step guide for the students to assist them.

They did a great job! Next week we'll spend part of our lab time scanning their creations.

I love working with QR Codes and was happy the 4th graders felt the same way. I've presented on QR Codes in education on more than one occasion. Below is a presentation I created for an Illinois Computing Educators' webinar.
