One of the best tools on the CreateBoard is the quick export of any Notes from class. Simply click on the "share' on the bottom left and generate a QR code which sends a copy of the entire Notes file. No more stressing about writing everything down! Students can listen and then get the Notes later.

We recently had a Middle School Project Based Learning Showcase where our students were sharing their work with an audience. Each student had to create their own QR code to link to their work.

Save it or take a screen shot.
