Power Up Literacy Engagement with QR Codes

Power Up Literacy Engagement with QR Codes

I read this great article today about the use of QR codes. I know we have all seen these types of articles before but I learned something new. These teachers but a few QR codes within some books. When a student got a certain page within an informational text they could scan the code linking them to a vital resource. It could be a video explaining a complex idea or a link to Ranger Rick.

Where can you find this article? It can't be found through Google. You will need to visit your school library and ask how you can access the Ebsco Host database. This particular article was found in the Dec/Jan Reading Today magazine. I think there are about ten relevant articles in this one issue.
