QR Codes are a Web Tool that I've been playing with this past school year. I came across this blog Free Technology For Teachers, and this particular post talked about different ways to use QR Codes.
The one tool I think I will try next year is QR Voice. QR Voice "is a free tool that allows you to create QR codes that when scanned will play a short audio message"(Byrne). I think it would be neat to put this on projects as a "secret message" or maybe "secret extra credit". This could also be used as a opening activity and scavenger hunt! This tool also has the option of changing the language. Teachers of foreign languages could create listening activities with this tool. There are various ways to use QR codes. I'm looking forward to exploring new ways.

I love QR codes, when I first began to notice them I could hardly pass a building if it had one on it i had to scan it. Last year I tried to get out announcement department to create a QR code on our school bulletin (they didn't) for the students and parents to become familiar with how the codes work when scanned. But the one with a voice, its worth me trying to do for myself .... im thinking on my church bulletin :~) this would definetly be something new.
