Quick Responses Codes are something I just learned about in SLIS 5270. I had the opportunity to learn how to make one, which was kind of fun, and really helped me to understand more how they would work.
In my library I would use them in several ways. One is that I would create literary scavenger hunts that would lead to a book or book series. Students could look for clues and follow them to specially designated places in the library. I could also use it for the students to gain access to specific websites to study an author or genre. It could even link to website articles on authors and/or related topics.
Librarians can teach others how to make and use QR Codes for their own uses, so added benefit would be to teach teachers how to utilize this in their own classrooms. Teachers may want to use QR Codes for projects students are working on, or to plan other learning activities. This would be a wonderful service for the entire district, so in-services could be provided on this or any other new technology.
