Assignment - QR codes

I have recently discovered the wonders of QR codes. QR stands for 'Quick Response'. These little blighters are a great way to include a vast amount of information for a certain subject area, topic or perhaps event, just to name a few examples. You can post links to websites on posters which people can simply scan and then be taken to the website via their mobile technology while on the go! Gone are the days of posting lengthy links for people to click on, or having to type out the url into the search bar, or even condensing information to fit on an A4 poster. Just simply scan the code and they can  be taken straight there without skimping on any details

Here is a code which will take you directly to the CounsellingResource.com website that I have previously mentioned in an earlier blog post :)

Have a play around. They are easy to create too!

I will be definitely using these within my teaching. How fab is it that we can include a massive amount of information on one sheet of paper for example! Just scan with a smart phone and read on the go. Not only will you be encouraging the inclusion of technology in a sensible and eductional manner, but as a teacher, you will also be displaying an element of trust within the students to use their devices in a professional manner. I believe this will be welcomed by the students as smart phones and mobile technology are now a massive part of our culture, and by showing trust to use their devices sensibly, you are also displaying a positive shift into the world of mobile technology in learning.
