What are AR and QR, really?

Okay, I'll admit, I was pretty familiar with QR codes. I have used them some in my classroom and have even created a scavenger hunt for our faculty last year using them. But AR, it's not Accelerated Reader anymore!

I was playing around with some of the links in some of the articles in this week's sandbox.  I created this little beauty, which will take you to my website.

Here is another handy one that links to your Google or Android Calendar.   Would be great to add to newsletters for important dates you don't want parents to forget.

AR is not just Accelerated Reader anymore

So I had a little fun playing around with Aurasma. I created a funny little ninja that popped out of my iced tea glass. I know it's not very librarian of me, but it's been a long day and it made me laugh. I look forward to messing around with it a little more in the morning, after a good night's sleep. Here's hoping there are no ninjas in my dreams.

    Putting these on a newsletter to link to a calendar is a great idea!

    I agree, Amy! That's a great idea, Donna. I know that at the beginning of the year especially a lot of documents get sent home with parents, but so much of what I do is digital that I'm always typing out long links or using TinyURL to try to make it easy for parents to get to the websites and calendars I use. If I use your idea of putting the QR codes on what I send home, parents can go straight to the links with a scan of their phones. Thanks for sharing!
