The magic of QR codes in the classroom - Karen Mensing

This is so cool and I can't believe this was almost 12 years ago! I'm so curious what devices the younger kids use to scan the codes? In our classroom the only QR codes the kids use are on the bottom of their pencil boxes to sign into their Google Chromebooks. Again, great talk, thanks!

This is amazing! Thanks for the ideas

QR codes are not magic! They involve a lot of complicated mathematics!!!

Wonderful I’m blown away!! Great use of QR in the 21st century classroom

Perfeito! tudo que eu penso

I am watching in 2021

This is the Mark of the Beast!

This was posted 7 years ago but the effects are starting to notice judt recently... Who knew this technology existed 7 years ago but applied after 7 years and during a pandemic... We will only see their usefulness once it is put to a test and now we know that this video really is true that the uses of QR codes are limitless and it could change the way all of us disseminate information😁🥳

It similar a "read" one simbol. "+" what is plus?

Global Teacher Award winner Mr. Disale using QR code in School textbook in Maharashtra, India.

i want to learn how to make it and ues it , but i didn't know how.

nice talk

I sanded this to my teacher.

Dear Karen,Very interesting...thanks.  One thing, however, the feedback like "good job" from a computer seems even less impactful than from a teacher. When we give specific feedback, we need to express WHAT THE STUDENT is doing or needs to get in order for it to have any educational impact.

oh my gosh my thesis is all about qr codes egg hunting game and the woman who was giving a speech and my genius mind was thinking of the same thing.

I'm gonna use this as reference for our thesis. :) hope it gets approved.k

😇😇😇

Well,I just hope the kids won't just always depend on their smartphone or tablets just to enjoy learning.There must be another way to teach the kids without making them bored if they have no tablets or smartphones

This won't play. Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks for opening my eyes to this new technology!!!  The possibilities of learning with QR codes is endless!!!  I'm so EXCITED to introduce my students to QR codes this upcoming school year!!!

What a great video! Thank you for putting this together. I will be trying these out in my class room as soon as next week!

I would like to have more information about a kindergarten class using Qr codes. I have Dual Language learners for a Spanish class and I want to try this strategy to motivate them to learn Spanish. If I want to make their work by Qr codes should I do it one by one?

A code telling you "well done"? I imagine that would be so much better than some boring teacher having some actual social interaction with you and telling you personally that you did a great job. Maybe we should also place some robot behint each student to pat his back if he answers correctly.

It still blows my mind that Kindergardeners are running around using iPads now. 

Our school doesn´t allow Elektronics...:C

Great Job Karen!

Look at this Tumblr: Pictures of People Scanning QR-Codes

A load of unmitigated codswallop. Gimmicky, nothing at all to do with learning, and, excuse me, did she say that a teacher should say "go scan number 5" as a means of feedback to a student? Gimme a break

The "privileged class" argument aside, this only works for so long. It's a gimmick, not a solution. Once everyone starts doing it, it's no longer "cool" and kids will start to lose interest. Don't get me wrong, this is a good idea. It's just not the revolution that is going to change education.

A fairly nice idea, but what about poorer children who's parents can't afford smartphones for themselves let alone their children. Kind of segregating isn't it?

A QR Code represents text. This can be a number, a message, or, like often used an URL.

I do this via a padlet page...students love it

It is a nice idea. I'd like to use QR codes for classes, but doesn't each QR code represent a web-address/ website-page? Where do you place all this web content? Do you need a website, or are there (free) ways you can do this?

There's positive and negative to this. Qr codes are a great way to enhance learning and are a creative approach but what about those who don't have the technology. All you're doing is isolating them. Also since when did kindergarten students get iPods and iPads? What happened to being content with blocks and crafts?

this is gay

My 8 year old is smart phone savvy and uses QR codes on his ipod and emails information to family and friends and belongs to several blogs and enjoys creating worlds in Minecraft. The tech just keeps getting better,cheaper and easier to access for even the poor.I still go fishing, rock climbing and tramping (all free activities!) with my son but we read books on Kindle and embrace the new technology.The new technologies encourage and teach problem solving,thinking skills,are motivating and work.

I get very sick of all the naysayers who point to the expense and elitism using new technology entails rather than allowing themselves to be inspired by creative teaching approaches using new technologies. I met a 30 something unemployed man today who was blown away by my iPad apps looking at 3D interactive Skeleton and my personal genealogy project on Ancestry. He said he was going to enrol in a computer course today. Yay!

hey, I am from Peru and we have smart bords in our class room y about 1/3 of the class has a smartphone Sure many schools in my country are not as lucky as mine, but don't underestimate a 3rd world country like Peru. 15 years ago my country was practicaly in civil war and now we have a growth rate of about 9-8% per year

That's quite the dividing, isolating and shaming pool of activities if inducted to a Public school. A poster takes less than one dollar to produce but a Smartphone of Game Device capable of scanning QR code costs hundreds of dollars, a hundred at the VERY least, creating trouble for every family struggling with affording indulgent luxuries greater than dessert snacks added to the grocery lists. Not being able to participate in classroom fun can be crippling to a small child.

this is a really cool idea - i can imagine kids would love this ... but we can't forgot that sitting still and even being a bit "bored" is important too.

Oh. So you do REALLY believe that 3rd world countries will eventually reach our level of progress? I admire your faith.

"Sooner or later this technology will reach over 95%" I didn't say tomorrow and do you really want to say what will happen in the next 10 years? What did the world look like 10 years ago? Maybe think a few seconds before you spread your sarcasm over the internet. Being anonymous isn't an excuse for losing your temper.

Yeah, countries like Nigeria and Cambodia are closely there. Sure.

Nice idea, I'll use it. Of course not everyone has the opportunity to use this yet, but sooner or later this technology will reach over 95% of the world. New technology and new ideas will always create curiosity and using curiosity to teach is a smart and easy thing to do.

It would help if schools had wifi signals

i dont like how people frown upon using new technology like this in the classroom. people say how terrible it is that kids are brought up in a touchscreen world but the reality is it is a better, easier technology. what's wrong with that? Use what's new and better.

"free and easy tool" Because owning a smartphone is free as well as using internet via the smartphone...

this just shows how much lazier teachers will get
