A couple of years ago, I decided to get a little more creative with my "Vocabulary Word of the Day Wall" that I have in my classroom. As I began to learn more and more about QR codes, I decided it was time to make these "words" more useful than ever.
Students always seem to forget some of our words and are clueless as to the definition. Now using mobile devices with cameras and a QR Reader, students can easily scan the code and see the definition of the word. They definitely prefer this to the old-fashioned way of taking out their notebook and looking up the definition.
To begin with, I made all of the QR codes for each definition. Once I downloaded all of the codes, I dragged them onto a document, spaced them out and printed. Afterwards, I cut them out individually, rescanned using a QR reader on my iPod, and lightly wrote the vocabulary word on the back of the code.
After I glued each code to the correct word, I had a completely revolutionized word wall for my Vocabulary Words of the Day.
