29 Jan How to Create QR Codes for Audio Files in Google Drive

Posted at 10:16h in education by

Earlier this week a reader reached out to me for advice about creating QR codes for audio recordings made by her students. Her students had made recordings using Vocaroo and then used Vocaroo’s built-in QR code generator to share the recordings. The problem they ran into is that Vocaroo deletes the recordings after a few weeks thereby rendering the QR codes useless. They needed a solution that would allow the recordings and QR codes to be useful for much longer periods of time. 

My suggestion to the problem was to still use Vocaroo to record but then download the recordings as MP3 files instead of relying on Vocaroo for hosting. Then after downloading the MP3 upload it to Google Drive and set the permissions to “anyone with the link can view.” Then use that link to create a QR code in a QR code generator like QRCode Monkey. The whole process is demonstrated this short video. 

I shared a bunch of other ideas for using QR codes in classrooms in this post on Practical Ed Tech.
