Sharing What We Write

All our writing has led to lots of books on our ipads. The kids all love to read each others stories. This week we are trying something a little bit different as a way to share stories with our friends in class as well as other friends in and outside of the school. I have been making up QR Codes that link to the stories on my blog. I am so excited to have this be a center this week. I love that the students can scan a code and it will link to a friends story. Qr codes are very easy to make and fun to use for so many different things. I have used them in the past for Sight Words, Look and Find Pictures, and Links to Websites. I will blog about those things at another time but for today the focus was on QR Codes that link to the books that students have written. Here is a sample of some of the pages that I made for out in the hall to invite people to read our stories. 

I also put QR Codes on paper plate cookies that we made to encourage people to read our If you Give A Mouse A Cookie Books. In the classroom this week students will have the opportunity to use their iPads to scan codes in the book area and read books that their friends have made. Lastly, I am planning to send QR Codes home with students so that they can share their stories with their families. Happy Reading!!!
