I thought a mystery blog hop with QR codes might be fun. Even if you don't think you know what QR codes are, chances are you've seen one. They're these little boxes that you scan with free apps on your smart phones, iPads, etc. I've made a couple worksheets with the QR codes where students scan them to be taken to a website where they'll solve problems or read information. It's a little extra "kick" that catches their attention. Now I know we don't all have the technology to scan them, so I'm going to make them "clickable" too. I thought it would be fun because you don't know which blog you'll land on until you scan the code or click the image. Chances are you'll find a new blog along the way.If you want to join in, here's how it works.
· *First, you’ll need to make your own QR code. It’s
free here: http://www.snapmaze.com/
· *Then, decide which post on your blog you want to
promote. This could be an old fan favorite, new idea, fabulous freebie, or even
a paid product. You must have a blog to do this step!
· *Finally, email me (msfultzscorner {at} gmail.com) your QR
code image, the link to your blog post that you want me to promote, and the
grade level target (preK-2, 3-6, or special interest).
*I’ll compile the data. After I have the data compiled, I’ll
send you a link to add to your featured post that will send readers back to the
QR page to hop to the next blog.
Can't wait!

HELP!
ReplyDeleteI click generate and the QR Code shows but no special link. The only link I see is the one I generated.
What am I doing wrong?

The link won't show, it will just be the image. The image will go to the link when scanned though. You'll just email me the image as an attachment and the link as text.
DeleteGot it. I have sent the image and link.
DeleteThanks
