QR Codes


goo.gl/L8F6UT

This is a site that would benefit librarians in the classification class.  A student can type in the ISBN or title of a book, and the site gives the most common Dewey Decimal number.

This is a great site for Science. Students and teachers can utilize this site. It is very easy to move around in and is very informative.



goo.gl/KpEsHu

This site would benefit anyone who wanted to familiarize himself with the Dewey Decimal System.  The divisions are broken down precisely, but it is not too difficult to understand.

I think QR codes are the next “big deal” in promotion.  I plan to use QR codes to promote my library.  I will use a QR code to send patrons directly to my OPAC.  I recently saw them being used to send students to e-books while the librarian completed inventory.  The students were so excited.

I have a Scientist of the month board in my classroom. On that board I have facts about a Scientist along with QR codes for students to use in their free time. The students absolutely love using them. I love integrating QR codes into my classroom. Many of my bills have QR codes on them.  I can go directly to the payment page for my trash bills. Some of my food containers even how them!

Poll Everwhere

Assessments are a necessary part of school life to monitor student learning.  Please answer this poll about assessments for my research.

I can see using this web tool as an exit slip.  I could monitor for understanding.  I could ask if there was anything unclear in today's lesson, or I could ask the students to answer a question from the daily lesson.
