So I am the technology person for my campus, which I do not feel adequate enough for the job. I really do try to integrate technology into learning, but it is hard to do all of the time. I have to admit, though, that I have fallen in love with using QR codes to make student learning more engaging. Here is a video of us on a sight word hunt.
We called it Robot Sight Words. My kids are very obsessed with robots, so when I met Moby from BrainPop, they totally went bonkers.
Anyways, I told my cuties that we were going to go on a sight word hunt, but that Moby wanted to help. Then next thing I knew, he turned our sight words into robot words! That crazy robot! So then I showed them how to use a QR code reader and they hunted for the sight words from this document:
They loved finding robot sight words!
Here is one more video, just for fun:
If you want to learn more about QR codes, check out my presentation document below from when I presented to my campus.
Happy weekend!
What a great idea to use QR codes! Wish we all had I-pads!!
ReplyDeleteI am always so impressed with your ideas! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI used QR in 2nd, but hadn't considered it for PreK (my first year in Prek). I am DEFINITELY going to add QR's to our rotation!! Man, those kids are having fun!! Love this!!
ReplyDeleteYou must have been at TCEA!! I love Moby!! It was the HIGHLIGHT of the conference to get my picture with him. I have to admit that I arranged my entire schedule around finding him and yes, stalking the floors until I found him! HAHA Such a geek!! JoAn

Thanks for the How-to doc. I have been looking around but hadn't found anyone who actually explained the full process. I am looking to start making and using them in my K class. Thanks again for sharing!
