Fun with QR Codes

QR in the Classroom. Extending the experience.

Tonight I got interested in qr codes.  Two informative hours later I have created a qr code for myself.  I'd like to get comfortable enough with them to qr my classroom library texts.  Link them to a short video of a dramatization, or to a fun game that's related.  Also, qrs on homework copies.  Why find all of the linked content yourself?  Students should become familiar with making qr themselves.  I conceive a homework assignments wherein students turn in three qrs and nothing else.  Teachers could quickly verify the students work with a qr scanner.

Homework Assignment: Turn in three qrs linked to interesting sources that help explain William Shakespear's play, Hamlet.
