APPLE CLASSROOM CHECK IN
QR code Reader in the Camera
You don’t need to install a QR code reader app with iOS 11. The camera app now has its own built-in QR code scanner. Point the iPad camera at a QR code, and it will automatically scan it. A notification will appear at the top of the screen. The scan will automatically take you to the desired content. The notification will tell you what kind of QR code you have (website, text etc.) If you tap the notification on a website QR code, the URL will automatically open in Safari.
This is a great tool when working with young learners and to provide quick access to differentiated content for students. QR codes can link to text, audio directions, websites and/or videos to name a few. The use of QR codes in the classroom is only limited by your creativity!
