AWESOME!!! I can only imagine how fun it would to walk into a classroom and start scanning! This makes me wish I were back in a secondary classroom!!!

It truly seems as if your action research project will benefit the adults around you as well as the students!
Great ideas, thanks! I really want to put together a scavenger hunt with QR codes for my high school classes. One of these days...

Thank you Kristy for the QR Codes! I know I'll be using these this year. Currently, I just have pre-made ones in place. But setting up my own links would be even more educational.

ReplyDeleteWow Kristy you are the technology queen. By the way thanks for the video about how to attach the followers gadget to the blog site. Anyway I am seriously curious about the results of your project. My district has just now approved the studnets ability to carry cell phones in the building. Seems like we are years behind allowing them to utilize them in the classroom right? Maybe not. Who knows... perhaps when thay are ready to inquire about using cellsphones to complete schoolwork the action plan of Kristy Land might just be in the stack. Keep us posted!!
