QR codes in school

QR (quick response) codes were developed in 1994 by the auto industry as an inventory tool. The adoption of QR Codes was slow to develop in popular culture until the recent increase in smart phones and similar devices with cameras and QR Code apps. Now most mobile iOS and Android devices with a camera can scan the codes.

So what?

A QR Code can be used to “link” to a website for more information. For example, why are there bookshelves in the Middle School art hallway? 

The art teacher, Matthew, has created an informative video explaining the purpose of the display at http://broadcast.acs.sch.ae/media/an-explanation-about-the-self-shelfm4a. 

Rather than typing the whole address into your iPad or iPhone, Matthew created a QR Code for the site. If you scan the code with your QR Code Reader app, the site will automatically load onto your device.


Matthew has another QR Code explaining the Graffiti Art exhibit. Check it out.
