QR Codes in the Classroom

Student Engagement

What are QR Codes?

QR codes are much like bar codes in that they contain information and can be scanned. Bar codes only contain information from left to right but a QR code can contain information from left to right or up and down.

QR codes can pack much more information into a smaller space - up to 4,000 letters and numbers .
