Using QR Codes in the Classroom
QR codes...you know those little square things on things we buy or places we go? You can scan them and it will give you more information or take you to a link. You can see pictures of one below. QR codes can be used in the classroom for math practice, going to a link for information, scavenger hunts...the ideas are endless!

Padlet
Have you heard about padlet? It is a paper wall for the web...you can create a wall and your kids can use the ipads to send a response to your wall and it can be seen by your whole class on your board. For example, students can type in their answers, ask questions, brainstorm ideas, or share information with the class. It is fast and very simple to use!
