-Include a QR code on your word wall words that links to an image, a translation, a written definition, or an audio recorded definition

The best QR code scanner that I have found is called i-Nigma, and it can be downloaded in the Google App Store or the Apple App Store.
To make a QR code, check out www.qrstuff.com or the Chrome Extension called goo.gl
