As previously discussed, QR technology is being introduced into the classroom in conjunction with the iPad. QR Code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is a scannable barcode first designed for the automotive industry. In recent years, QR technology has been adapted for use with the internet. Using a smartphone (including the iPhone) or an iPad (or similar tablet) equipped with WiFi or 3G/4G access, a person can scan a QR code and instantly connect to a linked website or transmit other forms or digital data quickly and easily.
This developing technology has now appeared at Stewart School! Fourth grade students recently completed a research project on famous artists and included QR codes for related student audio presentations. Mrs. Volpe's Quest students integrated QR codes into their presentations on Stewart School's 75th anniversary. Several classrooms, including the science lab, feature QR codes that link to important information. Many visitors to Stewart had the opportunity to use these codes during last week's open house.
