I’ve been using Roboform since it first came out. I’ve had some “unimportant” accounts hacked over the years, so the security is worth it. No pain, no gain…

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! I’d love to continue to revisit this to see how it’s being used. I agree – I think there are lots of potential, meaningful ways to use them in education – we just have to get there.

I added a link to your blog post to the Resources area – you bring up several good points. I would hate for people to use them just because they’re the in thing to use at the time. But hopefully people will be able to use the Resources and Ideas areas of qrc101.com to get some good ideas from a variety of users rather than just use them for the examples you gave.

Thanks,
Matt

I agree, it will get there. And maybe the “fluff to meaty” is part of the process, no? I mean maybe we go from being low risk/low content to the more meaty stuff. Hmmm…I feel a post coming on…

Thanks for taking the time to comment!

How do we make it meaty not fluffy! I agree, it needs to be more than just a gimmick. It will get there.

I love the portfolio idea! What a great way to connect parents with their kids’ media projects! Thanks for taking the time to connect.

Thanks so much for sharing your views and your research on QR code integration in the classroom. I agree with your views on not needing a fancy code-ring decoder. They can get those out of their cereal box! That doesn’t help to extend their role as (future) digital citizens. However, the timeline idea, and the idea of using QR codes as a means of assistive technology were wonderful ideas. Although I am a regular ed teacher, I am always looking for ways of using assistive technology to help others in school.

As an elementary school teacher, and the mother of an elementary school student, I don’t see much use of smart phones with my students in the classroom. However, I teach in a prominent area where most of the students, if not all of them, have cell phones and iPods, many even have iPads of their own. I could see integrating some meaningful QR code activities into an after school enrichment club in technology.

Like all new tech we gotta play with it then after some reflection sit back and take stock.
