Can I save a slide in a way that I could attach a QR code to it?

I would need to save it with a web address in order to create a QR code. I want to display the students slides of Whales in the hall and with the QR codes others could click on the codes and hear their narration.

You can add a QR code to a Share page after you've created the QR code using the tool of your choice.

If you know where you are going to publish your Share website ahead of time, you can generate the QR code in advance and then add it to the Share page as a graphic. You will then need to upload your published Share site to the specified location.

For example, if you have a teacher web page at your school the URL might look something like this:

...http://myschool/mywebpage/technology/page1.html
...http://myschool/mywebpage/technology/page2.html

If you are publishing to K12 Share, you will need to publish your site in Share first and then obtain the URL. After you obtain the URL, you can create your QR code and then add it to your Share project/page. You will need to re-publish the page to K12 Share for the contents to be updated.

As an aside - I've been using Google's URL shortner and it will automatically create a QR code for you.

I can see this working if I wanted to share the class' slide show, but if I want each individual slide to have its own QR code, wouldn't each one have to be on a different webpage to create a different link? I was concerned about the QR link working with our private website as you mentioned. I'd have to create a public page just for this. I think this is more trouble than it is worth! I was hoping for an easy Wixie save! :)

Are you using Share or Wixie? If you are using Wixie, each project will have it's own URL. You can find the Wixie Project URL by going to the Send menu in Wixie, or by selecting the project in the Students tab in the teacher web page.

If you are using Wixie, you can obtain the project URL in a couple of ways -

If you are logged in as a student, or the person that owns the project, you can click the Send menu and choose Copy Project URL.

You can then paste this URL into a text editor. This URL can then be used to generate your QR code.

If you are logged in as a teacher, you can select the project and you will see the URL on the project details page.

If your school is set to require a public key, you can uncheck this box to generate a URL that does not require a key.

You can then click the Share button (green with arrows) to bring up the Share dialog that you can email.

As noted earlier, you can use these URLs to generate your QR codes.

One thing to note if you will be viewing the projects on an iPad or other tablet: Sounds will not automatically play when the project is shown. You will see a Play button when arriving at the provided URL (QR code).
