bookmarklet – dalebasler.com

UPDATE (2/1/2017): See the note at the bottom of this post.

Here is a bookmarklet that will add QR codes to the student login cards for your code.org class.

qrmycodeorg

Below is a video explaining how to use this bookmarklet.

UPDATE:
I was recently informed by a couple teachers that the bookmarklet doesn’t work. After some investigation, I figured out why. As a security measure, new browser standards have been set that prevent many bookmarklets from working. This security measure is called a Content Security Policy or CSP. The bookmarklet will only work if you disable CSP for the page before running it.

Steps in Chrome:

Install the Disable content-security-policy Chrome extension
Load the printable sign in cards page at code.org
Click the disable content security policy icon to disable CSP
Reload the page
Use the bookmarklet as shown in the video above
Click the disable content security policy icon to re-enable CSP

Over the past few days, I’ve been tinkering around with the cloud storage site Copy.com. It’s a lot like Dropbox and the others.

After exploring Google Drive’s ability to host files and provide direct links, I wanted to see if Copy could do the same thing. Turns out it can for most files (not html). below is an example:

change this: https://www.copy.com/s/duJ7I70PLvTK/interview109-clip.mp3

to this: https://copy.com/duJ7I70PLvTK/interview109-clip.mp3
