Readbox Bulletin Board

I love QR codes, especially when they are mixed with great bulletin board displays.  QR codes are a great way to bring student work displays to life.  They can also provide your community an interactive view of student projects.

 Ashley Landreth (@mrslandreth3)  a third grade teacher in Greenwood, SC had this awesome bulletin board.  I first saw this idea from her tweet as she was getting ready for open house:
I loved the display so much, I asked her permission to feature it on my blog.  Third grade students at her school created book recommendations using the ChatterPix Kids app.  Now students can scan the QR codes to hear a little book preview before they check out books in the library.

Click the ChatterPix video clips below to see two student samples.

What a great way to get students excited about books!  A book recommendation from a peer can go a long way to encouraging reluctant readers in your class.   I love how this display encourages a community of readers in the school.

    Interesting to see how QR codes are getting popular in schools. Just a suggestion, maybe you can write about visual QR codes to introduce them to your readers. You can find more info from www.visualead.com and www.ounchtag.com.

    I feel that this will make the QR codes a lot more appealing and since we can now have a picture behind, we could probably communicate more to the users before they scan.
