For this year's open house, we put signs up at each classroom with QR codes for parents to scan to immediately save the teacher's contact info.

There are many ways you can use this technology in your classroom! Embed the answers to a homework assignment into QR code and make kids scan to check their work. (You can also get a desktop app for your computer and use a document camera as a scanner!) Put book reviews into a QR code and put them inside the cover of your library books.

These are sooo cool! Can't wait to get my iPads so students can start scanning codes! Great idea of posting QR codes with teacher info.
