As I sat at the SEMO EdTech Conference today, I learned an extremely easy way to create QR Codes!
Typically, when I create QR Codes for my students, I copy and paste a URL into QR Stuff or a similar program. I then download and/or save the image, or copy and paste the image to a document, presentation, etc.
NOW…using the goo.gl Chrome extension, I can simply click the extension on my browser and VOILA! The extension automatically creates a shortened URL and a
QR Code for the website! How awesome is that? A simple copy/paste and the QR Code is wherever I want it to be!
I, like many of you, LOVE QR Codes and will most definitely be using this trick in my classroom. Check out the image on this page for a brief explanation of this tool.
Thanks for reading 🙂
I stumbled upon this post in Schoology. How do you use QR codes in class? I’m not sure if I understand the scenarios where it would be helpful? Can you elaborate – sounds interesting!
Hi, Brad!
I love to use QR Codes in my classroom. I make QR Codes that link to review flashcards, iCivics games, videos, articles, etc that I want my students to access. My students appreciate QR Codes, especially when I create QR Code that links to a Blendspace review activity! I post them around my room for them to scan. We recently did a QR Code scavenger hunt to review for finals, and that was a big hit. I hope that helps!
