QR Codes

Another thought floating around is the prevalence of QR codes around Las Vegas. Many locations have the codes posted around town so tourists can scan them with their phone and then the code will link to a website or a video with more information. Perhaps we could have students create some sort of QR codes to accompany their displays at the end exhibition so the visitors could see where students sourced their information from, could view related clips from the guest speakers, or even be directed back to the main website of  the program.

Although I've never created a QR code before, I've definitely used my smart phone to scan them and explored the content they linked to. While I'm always slightly anxious about using new technology, I was able to find a link to an article that has some ideas for 50 ways to use QR codes in the classroom. While I haven't had time to explore all of the ideas, I'm sure that some might be viable or spur additional ideas.
