1. Students writing progress could be kept in a QR code. Samples of their work could be scanned in or a photo taken. It would be a digital writing portfolio in a code.
2. Many times in the classroom we videotape something that we want to share with the child’s family, but it’s not convenient to make CDs or DVDs for parents or grandparents. Videos could be uploaded to the cloud or Youtube and then students could create a QR code to share with their family.
3. I saw an idea about having a scavenger hunt in the school. I think I could use this activity with information during our unit on the Underground railroad. While going from code to code, students would have to make decisions as a runaway slave and then choose which code to scan to see their fate. “It’s raining tonight, do you make your escape tonight?” Scan the code for yes or no. Their next piece of information leads them to the next two codes from which to choose.
The only roadblock I could think of would be, if a student needed to scan a QR code from home, and they didn’t have a device that would scan a code, then they would be “out-of-luck”.
Augmented Reality
I looked at the colAR mix app and the Flashcard app. They were both very fun to play with and share with my son. I could see Kindergarteners really getting into the ABC flashcards. The more fun something is, the more kids will remember the information.
My son loved the colAR app the most. Watching the dog run around the house and seeing the tennis shoe he colored dance made his face light up. I could see kids really learning 3-dimensional figures, landforms in 3-D, and understanding measurement of 3-D objects so much more with the use of Augmented Reality.
