Aren't QR Codes a bit Gimmicky?
When I first saw QR codes posted, I really didn't like them, because most of the time they just had a math word problem, which was essentially just a digital worksheet. I got annoyed because by involving the QR codes you were adding a distraction without really accomplishing anything new. Then I realized that QR codes could be used for very quick access to a research site or video link. I have always had difficulty getting students to follow directions when it comes to finding the correct webpage or entering a URL address. The QR code eliminated that problem, because they simply scan the code and the site pops up on their screen in a matter of seconds. I now love QR codes!
