At the WEMTA conference, I learned more about QR codes and came up with an idea on how to use them inside & outside of the library. I am creating QR codes for each audio recording, pasting the QR code into the library book and establishing a QR station in the library. That way, students can check out the book, scan the QR code (requires a PC/Mac or smart device with a QR code reader app) and listen to the story in the library at the QR station or at home, snuggled into their favorite reading spot.
One of the 3rd grade teachers is also looking to work with her students to record their reading of a favorite picture book. They can then create QR codes that we can paste into the library books, so everyone at Parkway can enjoy their read alouds!
