Last week we learned what a QR code does and this week we are going to be using our devices to scan the codes by each door. Don't forget your headphones! What is a QR Code? Hey, I’m really glad you asked! QR Code is an abbreviation for Quick Response Code. It is a special kind of bar code that anybody can scan with a smartphone app that usually directs the user to a website. Here are a few examples of unique QR Codes: Most QR Codes direct you to a company website. Sometimes they enable you to send a text message directly to a company. Sometimes they instantly pull up a video or send you to an online campaign. Sometimes it just pulls up a phone number or a plain text message. The possibilities are endless! Soon you will be seeing QR codes all over school! The 3-6th graders have been busy creating QR codes for each door. When you scan a code it will read a loud part of the Polar Express! Exciting!
