QR Codes

       QR Codes were my next challenge after losing all my iPads.   I use QR Codes for my listening center which I call my Readbox.  (Yes the idea is similar to Redbox but for books not movies)






        Our “Readbox” has book cover icons with QR codes that students scan and then listen.  Most of the books are videos from YouTube,  but most of the YouTube videos are viewed through the website Safe Share TV.   

I was not sure how it was going to work with a web cam but I was fortunate and received Chrome books with a camera that could flip from front to back. I did some searching for a QR Scanner for Chrome books and found this QR Scanner.   It worked great.  My students quickly caught on to how it worked.  

   Many of the books and qr codes I have used were found from free resources on the web and Teachers Pay Teachers.   I am all about free.  I have also created a few on my own.  The kids just love our “Readbox”.  

'Til next time,

Mrs. Vander Wilt
