QR Codes
• QR Codes (or “Quick Response Codes”) are similar to bar codes.
• The code consists of colored modules arranged in a square
pattern on a white background.
• QR codes can store a lot information – plain text, web page
addresses, raw data, etc.
• QR code use is on the rise in education because they are easy to
create, easy to read and students are intrigued by them. That
makes them perfect to integrate into the classroom to increase
learning among our students.

or photos gathered from the Internet to represent ideas
• Curriculum focus - such as introducing a concept or explaining something in
your curriculum
• Explain a classroom rule, procedure, or tip for success.
• Tell a story about a significant event in your life - have a beginning, middle and
end (climax)
