Open House Idea - QR Style

With Open House just around the corner, everyone is scurrying about getting all the details in order. So here's one idea that I think works great!  Create a QR Code with all your Contact Information (name, email address, phone number, Twitter handle, etc.) and add a few highlights or "what to expect" details.  Codes can be generated by so many programs. Here's the one I use: QR-Generator (http://www.qr-code-generator.com/). It's very easy and creates a variety of codes.

Take the Code and a pleasant picture of you, laminate if you can and place outside your Classroom or Lab door.  When Parents scan, they will have your Contact Information available on their device. There is no need to keep up with paper copies or risk typographical errors. Your picture is also a nice welcome to the Students. This way, they'll know who they're looking for! It eases that pressure.

It's a snap....and, a great idea!

Happy New School Year Folks!
