Together with Discovery Education they have introduced the STEM education program for teachers. Many interesting projects have come out of the the resulting National Academy of Teachers with QR codes.<\/p>\n<h3>Linking to Portfolios<\/h3>\n<p>Vicki Davis, a real believer in the power of QR codes in the classroom asked her students to use use\u00a0QR codes\u00a0to link to virtual portfolios. For example, a student\u2019s cover page would include a QR code that links to an online summary of his or her work for the year. From that summary, students create hyperlinks to blog post assignments, videos, and more. Clearly this idea could be used outside of the classroom \u00a0&#8211; in business and CV&#8217;s etc.<\/p>\n<h3>Adding education to still life<\/h3>\n<p>It was also Ms. Davis&#8217; idea to attach\u00a0QR codes\u00a0to trophies in the school\u2019s trophy case. The QR codes link to videos taken at celebration assemblies and potentially the championship events themselves. In this way inanimate objects can hold an unlimited amount of informational and educational information.\u00a0Linking QR codes to school videos isn\u2019t limited to sports events. For example, videos of lectures, school-wide assemblies with guest speakers, and the principal\u2019s addresses to students could all be captured and distributed via QR codes.<\/p>\n<h3>Down and dirty with local business<\/h3>\n<p>Emerging Technologies teacher Melanie Wiscount had her students create documentaries featuring local businesses and tag them with mobile QR codes. The\u00a0QR codes\u00a0were displayed at the featured businesses, and provided patrons access to the student work. The whole process gave students the opportunity to write, produce, distribute, and promote their own work.<\/p>\n<p>At Tanto labels we supply everything to do with barcode labels and barcode label printers.
