QR code in the classroom

http://my.qrvoice.net/SzIRfA

QR codes (Quck Response) provide users information that can be read by mobile devices. They can be also very useful in education (at different school subjects). It's only the question of strategies and purposes someone uses them. In my case I used them for language learning. 
There are two types of them:

1. text based (provide URLs or e-mails, for online web pages, articles, videos, music ...) (QR code creator)
2. voice based (provide TTS content, or online voice files) (QR voice code creator)

There are diferent QR code readers, for me i-Nigma code reader proved to be one of the best and works well on tablets and smart phones. 

They can be used for different educational purposes for example:

• they can label artworks at the exhibition to explain the techniques and the topics of the artworks for example (voice or text based ones),
• they can be used for treasure hunt (describibng the way to the treasure),
• they can be used for web searching for specific topics,
• they can be used for language learning (listening and reading)
• they can be used outdoor (in the natural park or learning path to describe plants and animals in the environment)
• use your imagination and ideas :) ...

It's important, that QR codes can be generated by teachers and students, so they can also be used in different projects. 

Here are my examples of QR code use in the classroom.

1. About food - (used in the secondary school)
2. Saami people Finland (teacher training course)
3. Traffic signs

I also prepared a presentation in Mentormob on the topic
