I thought a mystery blog hop with QR codes might be fun. Even if you don’t think you know what QR codes are, chances are you’ve seen one. They’re these little boxes that you scan with free apps on your smart phones, iPads, etc. I’ve made a couple worksheets with the QR codes where students scan them to be taken to a website where they’ll solve problems or read information. It’s a little extra “kick” that catches their attention. Now I know we don’t all have the technology to scan them, so I’m going to make them “clickable” too. I thought it would be fun because you don’t know which blog you’ll land on until you scan the code or click the image. Chances are you’ll find a new blog along the way.

promote. This could be an old fan favorite, new idea, fabulous freebie, or even
a paid product. You must have a blog to do this step!
code image, the link to your blog post that you want me to promote, and the
grade level target (preK-2, 3-6, or special interest).
send you a link to add to your featured post that will send readers back to the
QR page to hop to the next blog.
*I’ll do most of the work and all you’ll have to do is
promote it to get visitors scanning (or clicking). If you want to participate,
email me your information by June 30th. It’s my goal to roll this out for July 4th.
Can’t wait!
How fun!! I'm making my code now for you 🙂

HELP!
I click generate and the QR Code shows but no special link. The only link I see is the one I generated.
What am I doing wrong?

The link won't show, it will just be the image. The image will go to the link when scanned though. You'll just email me the image as an attachment and the link as text.
Got it. I have sent the image and link.
Thanks
