QR Codes for (y)our Apps
I am on a serious mission to push our library out onto the platforms my kiddos love most–their phones, and to a lesser extent, their tablets. I so want our library to be in the pockets.
As I finished preparing our QR code handout, it occurred to me that most of the codes, in fact most of the handout, could be reused by other libraries.
The codes lead our students and teachers to the App Store for free downloads and, with the exceptions of the code for our Spartan Guides, can be reused by other libraries using the same resources.

I used Unitag to create the QR codes because it allowed me to embed little logos of the apps (with coordinating colors) so I wouldn’t get them mixed up and I created TinyURLs, in case of code or code reader failure.
Please feel free to make a copy of this Google Doc and personalize it with these codes and others you use in your own libraries. (I am also curating these on a Pinterest board.)
Please also make suggestions for page 2 in your comments.
Note: Be sure to check age restrictions before recommending apps to your students.
