I really loved this lesson and actually I added some QR codes to my Introduction to the Library lesson that I do with the Freshmen. I really love the QR codes that are shapes - I'd like to do a Spartan head (our mascot) for the library!!
I also added an activity to a unit for Health class for the book 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher where kids have to make their own map with Google maps and pin and note places where important events happened in their lives. (If you've read the book you'll get this - if not read the book, it's great!)
I will be doing much more exploring with the new Google Maps and experimenting more with QR codes. I'd like to link QR codes in book to student book reviews somehow ... anyone done that??
Mary Ann: there is an excel-like document for Google Docs someone created where you can put words, images, videos, etc and automatically make it into a QR code. I didn't use student videos, but youtube book trailers as QR codes and posted them around the school. I can send you the excel file if you want.
ReplyDeleteAllison, could you share that with all of us? Sounds like a great tool. Thanks!
DeleteI have used QR codes to link to short, video trailers I made for the books. I put the QR code on a sticker and put the sticker on the book so students can scan them to see the videos.
