QR Code Crazy!

Working in a 1:1 ipad building has been so eye opening. Something that has come along and become the current craze is QR codes. As many teachers dive into using QR codes for centers, scavenger hunts, "I'm Done" activities, interactice word walls, and self-checks, we are finding innovative and new ways to use QR codes in the classroom and around the school. As the instructional coach, I find it important to model things that teachers use or are interested in using.  With all the
professional development opportunities that coaches provide in our district, I was
looking into a way to more effectivity take attendance.  So this week, I am going to try out a QR code that links to a Google Doc form where teachers enter their name. So instead of passing around a sign-in sheet, or seeing a long line at the sign in sheet, I will have the QR code shown on a row of computers for teachers to walk in and scan. I think that QR codes are a great way to enhance independence when the teacher can't always be with every student. I thought it would be neat to have QR codes that link to voice recording of instructions, especially for early primary students.  Have you ever used QR codes? Please share!
