QR codes are everywhere and purposefully used for education, learning, and information retrieval. Over Christmas break my family and I traveled to South Dakota. When visiting the historic landmark, Falls Park in Sioux Falls, SD; my family & I found a framed view of a historic building with a QRcode in the bottom corner of the frame as a link to more information from http://www.whyarchitecturematters.com/ to help create appreciation, advocacy, and to inform visitors about the architecture of Sioux Falls, SD. How great and useful would this be on a field trip?
I intend to use QR codes for my next gallery display with students putting them next to their artwork and linking QR readers to their artist statements on their blogs. The possibilities are endless and these little square artworks that inform are here to stay. With these mosaic like squares, pictures truly are worth a thousand words, or voices, or websites, or whatever. Go try this in your classrooms!

I've been thinking in little black and white squares lately. These squares are not your typical mosaics in the art room, nor are they projects about Dutch artist and founder of the De Stijl art movement, Piet Mondrian. These square, little, abstract-art looking things are QR codes. (Click on the Title of Broadway Boogie Woogie to visit the MoMa's audio description and try out this great art resource).

So what sets QR codes apart from the similar images we see and make in art class ? Interactivity, that's what!
When using websites like http://qrcode.kaywa.com/, or http://qrvoice.net/ teachers can link resources, documents or their own voice to these QR codes. Students with Smartphones are then able to capture and read these with free downloadable QR code reader apps and connect to your information anywhere.
