I like patterns. This week, I started by sharing some QR Code Countdown Calendars. Yesterday, I chose to share a link to Countdown Calendars. So, today, I will focus once again on QR Codes.
I found an article on the Langwitches blog that gave a wonderful idea for using QR codes with art. You should read the article here, because it gives great details. To summarize, it explains a project in which the students created magnificent artwork. They then made individual recordings about their artwork. These recordings were uploaded to the web, and QR codes were generated for each link. The QR codes were then adhered to the artwork. Therefore, anyone who passes the artwork that is being displayed can use a “smart” device to scan the code, allowing them to listen to the student’s narrative about the art as the surveyor looks upon the masterpiece.
This generated so many extension ideas for me when I read it that I could not even begin to list them. Think about the power of attaching another media to a bulletin board display of any type of work. It could be an audio narrative or music. It could even be a video! Imagine the electronic portfolios your students could create that would co-exist in the both the “real” and “virtual” worlds! I can’t wait to try it myself!
