QR code generator. Has some options other than plain B/W. Pretty cool!

I like QR Stuff so much I have even paid for its use. I like that they keep track of your history in a paid subscription. I've used QR Stuff to create vocabulary scavenger hunts, to make a poster of sites to share with other teachers and post a video of the scavenger hunt to share. I've even made my own audio book recordings through QR Stuff. I see this resource as one to be used by students and teachers. The site has so many options for teachers to create codes for their classrooms. Students can link documents to digital portfolios, QR Creators are popular, but I haven't found another one that offers as many choices in codes and personalization features as QR Stuff. Ben you should look into Aurasma, an augmented reality app that adds a 3D component. And Socrative can be used for formative assessments.

QR codes are great for students, teachers and community members. I would guess many students and adults are familiar with them and if they don't know how to use them, know someone who is. Renee and Ben, I know some teachers use QR codes as a link to their Aurasma pages. I like this site because it offers more than the first-generation QR code generators. I can see many uses - I'd love to try one of the t-shirt or visual AR codes. I'm a fan of Tagxedo, which reminds of of the visual AR codes shown on the website.

Canva is a fantastic, user-friendly tool to create professional looking graphics and infographics. After reading this post by Cool Cat Teacher I gave the program a try and really enjoyed it. The tool has stock images available for $1 or you may upload your own for free. Students could use it to make infographics on research topics, business cards, or posters for their businesses.

Create online flashcards for a class. You can share these with friends or colleagues.

I agree that these can be used in the classroom successfully. I have used something similar and have found success. Now, I am not sure what you teach but I think this would be best in a language classroom. That being said, it works in all settings. I like that this is primarily a student centered resource. Since students have to create their own flash card set they internalize the information. Finally, have you tried quizlet.com? It is a very similar resource that allows students to play different games with their sets. It too has an ipad app like cramberry which I like.

I agree with Kenton - it is a great resource for students to use to learn information. What I like about this one is that you can search ready-made sets. But I like quizlet.com a lot better. It has interactive games to learn the words and can even write quizzes for the students to test their knowledge. I have used that for independent study of vocabulary words for novels. I couldn't write 30 different quizzes to assess their familiarity with the new words they chose for themselves, but on quizlet they can take a quiz and show me their score. It has apps from Apple and Android so students can use it from different devices. Also, it has a print option for students who don't have access to a smart phone or internet outside of school. I like that it gives them an active way to study and instant feedback on what they know and what they need to study still. Finally, it has class options so I could enter a set and share it easily with the students.
