Work Flow for creating a QR Code on the iPads.

Work Flow of creating a QR Code:

Firstly create your video.
Today we are using Chatterpix to make our orange speak.

1. Once you have created your movie in any application you need to export it to the Camera Roll ( or you can export it straight to Dropbox if the application has that feature)

2. Open Dropbox - Add the video to dropbox

3. Click the "up arrow" on the right hand side and click "Copy link"

4.  Open the App "Qrafter"

5.  Click "Create" at the bottom of the screen. 

6.  It will create a unique QR code.

7. Press the "up arrow" icon to save the image to the camera roll. 

 8. Insert the image into Pic Collage to add headings, words, pictures...

9. Add the collage into Dropbox and print from your computer.

Example letter I have sent to parents to explain QR codes. 

Dear Parents

At ______ Pre Primary we would love to share students work with you and as many of these special moments are captured via photos, video and audio we have decided to use QR codes to share students work. This will allow you to  download your child’s work right onto your phone/ iPad. 

For those that are unfamiliar to Qr codes don't worry, I’m sure you have seen QR (quick response) codes on packaging and magazines.  What they do is link you to useful information on the web. Therefore rather that typing in a long web address all you need to do is scan and you’re away. 

Phones and iPads don't come with a built in QR reader, so you will need to download one from the app store. There are many free apps that will work fine. 

Next you'll need to find a QR code to scan and open the app. Most Apps will just require you to hold the camera over the square code and it will automatically direct you to the required webpage. 

Our Kindy QR codes will direct you to a form of cloud storage such a Dropbox. From here a download button will appear and you will need to press this to download it onto your own device.
