#4: Add to Your Learning Streets How do we better utilize the pathways in school buildings? Whether it is only seeing these as transition points from A to B or a mindset that sees learning tethered only to the classroom, this area is often neglected outside of a few token art pieces, an award here or there, and random announcements. QR Codes are one way to begin converting these legacy spaces into learning spaces. Submitted by Ryan Bretag ( @ryanbretag )

#24 Add QR codes to any/ all worksheets or handouts. I've used QR codes with my students for a while now. Although recently I found using a URL shortening service (bit.ly) a great time saver. As well as being able to (alert) students of new resources via the department twitter and facebook pages, a QR code is automatically generated too. Saving the need to use another QR generator. The QR Codes are then added to worksheets and guidance papers, to allow students access to instructions via their mobile phones. ....Just in case they loose the handout!

#30 Scan from your Desktop / Laptop QR codes are great on mobile devices, but there's lots of potential for the desktop/laptop world as well. Applications like iCandy [ http://icandy.ricohinnovations.com/rocket2/ ] and a simple adobe air application by Dansl [ http://www.dansl.net/blog/?p=256 ] expand the possibilities that come with QR codes.
