QR Codes have been around for several years now. They continue to offer a kind of original bridge between paper and digital. Printed on paper, they link to online files, addresses and documents.
They still lend themselves to many uses in the field of education, whether to offer a multimedia supplement to a paper document, a printed course material, an exhibition or to refer to the classroom blog or online information for parents.
There are many online tools that allow you to create QR Codes for free. Here is a small selection of five of them that have the advantage of being able to be used without prior registration by yourself or your students.
