Street View in the classroom Google Street View provides a way for students to discover and explore the world around them from within their own classroom. The Street View cars have driven over 10 million kilometers in almost 70 countries, and mounted the same cameras on tricycles, on snow machines, on boats, in backpacks and even on camels in order to travel across the seven continents of the world. Many of the best Street View images captured can be viewed in the Gallery collec- tions, but sharing specific images as part of a classroom exercise can be awkward due to the long URLs associated with these web-based location. Quick Response (QR) codes provide one easy method for students with mobile devices to easily find and Street View images. Using QR Codes (1) From your Android device open the Google Play store App. (2) Search for “QR barcode scanner” and install the free app called “QR BARCODE SCANNER Code Reader”. (3) Open the App and select the top option to “scan barcode” and find a QR to scan. (4) The app uses the back-facing camera to scan. Hold your device so the view of the target QR code fits within non-greyed out box on the screen (the width of this is indi- cated by the red line). Positioning is correct when your device beeps. (5) On the next screen select “Go to Website” and then use the Google Maps App (not a web browser) to open the link. This will take you directly to the Street View image in Google Mobile Maps. Note: There are many QR or barcode scan- ner Apps available but this tutorial assumes the use of one called “QR Bar- code Scanner” on Android devices. It can be adapted for use with other Apps and/or mobile operating systems.
