47. QR Generators


Year 6 have had great fun creating QR codes for the virtual tour of TX Campus and codes for their blogs.  QR is the acronym for quick response. By scanning the code with a smart phone,  or an Android tablet, or an iPad or an iTouch you are instantly directed to that particular online web site.
While there are many QR generators we used Kaywa. This application is really user friendly.

Type in your code, click Generate for free, and hey presto your code is created. By integrating other technologies, take a screen  shot of your code in Kaywa, as seen below, using Gadwin screen capture (post  ) and then insert this image / jpg  into word.

Some of the Year 6 children further extended the  use of QR codes  by taking the string of html code shown under the generate for free button, of their QR and pasted  this into their blog. Now they have links between 2 online environments and can begin to draw viewers from their blog and their wiki.
