Deeper Learning with QR Codes and Augmented Reality
To continue the share out of Monica Burns book Deeper Learning with QR codes and Augmented Reality this weeks information includes tips as to why you would want to try using QR codes and AR activities as well as ideas to use in your classroom. In this weeks share and the coming weeks shares we will look at the ACES framework (Access, Curate, Engage, and Share). This week you will see that there are numerous reasons to use of QR codes and AR as well as lots of ways to provide access to content by your students.
Reasons for using QR codes and AR triggers:
1. Use quickly gets all students on the same page or to the same resource.
2. Use eliminates the frustration of students who are trying to type in the correct URL.
3. Use of QR codes and AR triggers is a time saver in that the teacher doesn't have to move from student to student devices trying to get them to the correct site or resource.
4. Use easily allows for differentiation.
5. Use of QR codes or AR triggers can assist your students in developing a deeper understanding of a science topic they are learning about or a story they read in their ELA class or a period in history they are learning about and so much more.
6. Easy access to content and resources any time and any where for students - this helps students to become self-directer learners.
Ways you may want to use QR codes and AR triggers:
1. Posters and Boards which display links to resources, videos and hands-on simulations to reinforce and expand learning
2. Do Now message to start the day or end a lesson
3. Word Walls - which could include videos about the words or giving an example of the word in use.
4. Anchor charts that are a resource to help students solve a math problem, participate in a read aloud activity, and checkout a primary resource by strategically placing scannable technology with a book or on a sheet to be reviewed prior to or just after reading specific passages, just to name a few.
In summary, scannable technology improves student access to materials in the classroom and around the school and promotes self-directed learning. Check back next week for tips on how to Curate to guide your student's learning.
