When speaking to teachers about these black-and-white squares, it's so much fun to see the "aha" moments as we explore different ways to use scannable technology in the classroom. This list of five things that you may not know about QR codes contains some simple ideas that definitely pack a punch. 1. QR codes can talk! Another quick option is using a web tool like Vocaroo, which lets users record their voice with the microphone on their device. 2. Since a QR code is connected to a web address, you can take a scanner to any location on the internet. 3.

My Five Most Frequently Recommended Google Forms Add-ons I receive a lot of emails from readers who have questions about Google Forms and G Suite in general. Many of those questions are answered with a suggested Google Form Add-on. The right Add-on can go a long way toward streamlining your process for completing common classroom tasks like keeping track of supplies or organizing classroom volunteers. Here are the five Google Forms Add-ons I refer people to more than any others. CheckItOut is a great little Google Forms Add-on that allows you to create a simple check-out/ check-in system. With CheckItOut enabled in Google Forms you simply title the set of items that people will be checking out (iPads for example) then choose if you want people to choose from check boxes, a list, or multiple choice question. g(Math) is a Google Forms Add-on that allows you to insert graphs and mathematical expressions into your Google Forms. Choice Eliminator removes response choices from your Google Form as they are used up.
