Making the Hallways Speak: QR Readers and Vocaroo

A quick and wonderful way to merge posted work with digital publishing: students read their poetry out loud and record on Vocaroo. Then, they take the QR code for the recording and post it at the bottom of the page.

It's not just an English class idea. Consider some of these ways of using Vocaroo-based QR codes in other content areas:


  • Math: students complete a new style of problem, explain how they solved it, and put the QR code on a class blog.
  • Science: Students take photos during a lab. They explain the observations they made of the photos.
  • History: Students have an asynchronous virtual debate and save their responses in a Google Doc using QR codes.
  • Modern Languages: Students make posters of their families and place QR codes on the posters explaining details about the families in the language being learned.

We have Macs at my school, so a QR Reader App for your computer. (I usually use the one on my phone, but it's nice to have access on other devices, too)
