Library Book Organization Using Dropbox and QR Codes

Here's how I organized my books:

1.  I sorted by theme, genre, or author.  (used a variety)

2.  I took pictures of groups of like books, according to the before mentioned groups.

3.  I placed cropped pictures in a Dropbox file folder (I pay for the Pro version which is 1TB-plenty

of space.

4. I created a QR code for each folder. I used qrstuff.com.

5.  I numbered my boxes and put the appropriate codes and books together (notice in the picture the hanging numbers-qr codes are behind them).

6.  Next project:  I will number my books so that students can help me keep the library organized.

*I can't wait to need a book and go right to it.  I can even do a search in my Drobox Library folder

for particular books and find its sub-folder or box that it is in. 

a Presidents' project from February

Scroll down to see the video-this pic isn't the project ;)

I am enjoying Philadelphia, even if it is raining… My hubby, Dannie, and I  went to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall while we waited on the rest of the gang to get here-(our flight was an earlier flight).  I thought I would include our picture(even though we were drenched) along with a presidents project my kids and I did in February since we are in one of our founding fathers' historical cities.  Here's what we did..

1.  The kids picked one or two presidents.
2.  They searched for images with guidance.
3.  They acquired personal dates for each president.
4.  They created a scrapbook page with the picture(s) and info they found.
5.  They saved their pages to my Dropbox (president folder).
6.  I pulled all of the pages together in Book Creator.

Showbie and Book Creator, GREAT together

1.  Create a Showbie Book Creator class.  

2.  Create a template in Book Creator that 

goes along with what you are studying.

3.  Kids will then open the template in their

Book Creator.

4. The kids can edit by filling in blanks and 

adding pictures.

5.  Kids export either ePub, pdf, video.

*My kids placed theirs in a Dropbox folder that I could share with parents.

CLASS EBOOK-CREATED WITH BOOK CREATOR

HERE IS A CLASS BOOK CREATED WITH BOOK CREATOR BEFORE MY KIDDOS ALL HAD THE BOOK CREATOR APP ON THEIR IPADS. 2013-2014

The kids use ABSOLUTE BOARD to create their pictures then added to my DROPBOX.  I pulled them altogether on BOOK CREATOR to create this class book.

QR Codes + Sound Files + learning centers = AWESOME!

Here's my latest project: I am taking one of my old word work centers and I'm adding a QR Code Card. The codes are connected to sound files I have stored in my dropbox. Click here to download a pdf that explains  how I did this.

here is a link to some game files that you can create;
