Quick Response Codes

When thinking of how I would use Quick Response Codes in my library, this wonderful (in my opinion) idea began to form.  I would designate a section of the library’s or school’s website for student created book reviews.  Any time students completed a book I would ask them to write a review and add it to the list.  Students would then create a QR Tag that would be placed on the book.  Others possibly interested in the book could scan the tag and be directed to an immediate peer review.  Of course, the library would need to be in possession of handheld technology that would allow students to scan the codes, but that’s for another blog.

A second idea would help a classroom or school “go green”.  Student work could be completed and uploaded online, and then a QR Tag could be made for teachers to scan and be directly taken to that student’s work.  No paper needed, just an email with an attached Quick Response code.  Once a student has a code made for their section of the website, they would not need to create another, freeing up time for everyone involved!

I believe that once students were introduced and subsequently mastered the tags, they, as well as teachers, would continue to create new possibilities for using Quick Response Codes. 



If you are so inclined, save the tag pictured to be taken back to this amazing blog of awesomeness anytime you feel the need.  You will need to download the app to your cell phone.
