Deeper Learning with QR Codes and Augmented Reality

This week we continue the sharing of Monic Burns book Deeper Learning with QR Codes and Augmented Reality.  In the last share I mentioned the ACES (Access, Curate, Engage and Share) framework and specifically covered the Access portion of the framework.  In this weeks post we will cover the Curate part of the framework.  When curating materials for students Burns recommends three principals to consider.  The media chosen should do one or all of the following:
  • help students better understand a topic,
  • enhance the student learning experience 
  • be appropriate for the age of students with which you are working
Once you select the resources that are just right for your students you can link them to scannable technology.
Curating resources also allows the teacher to differentiate specific video, images and website content to meet specific students needs.  QR Codes and AR triggers can be used for whole class lessons and even though all students may be directed to a specific website reading their tasks can be leveled to scaffold the learning.   For example, students reading an article on the Civil Rights Movement might be assigned one of three individual tasks to make meaning of what they read. One group might pull out the key vocabulary, another group might answer recall questions and a third group might be asked to use text evidence to answer their question. 
 
QR Codes can also be used to address the needs of leveled readers.  For example, in a class with multiple reading groups a teacher could have separate QR codes created for each group that directs the readers to text on their specific level. Sites like www.Newsela.com can provide content that address the different levels of readers in a class.  On Newseala each current events article is available at five different Lexile levels and each has its own web address which allows for each to connect to a separate QR code.  

EL students can benefit from curated resources and activities chosen specifically for them.  Scannable technology for EL learners can connect them to multimedia that may be more meaningful and helpful in building background knowledge than a selection of text that is above their level.    QR codes are versatile in that a QR code can contain an audio clip allowing EL students to hear word pronunciation, provide a definition or a word or read instructions aloud.  A teacher could connect a video tutorial in a student's native language to help them understand a math concept, or to provide a visual representation of how to solve a math problem.

Curation allows students to develop deeper understanding by giving them access to appropriate content that enhances the learning experience

Profile of a Global Citizen

I came across a blog by an organization called Participate Learning.  I saw this cool infographic which can be downloaded and printed out if you click here.  It lists 10 core competencies of a global citizen.  We know our current students will be the global citizens of tomorrow.  As I read this infographic I asked myself do our students have lots of opportunity to develop these competencies during their 12 years at Conewago Valley.  In looking at these global citizen skills are there specific competencies you are addressing within your classroom lessons and activities?  Check out this infographic.  My challenge is for you to think about your answer to the question, how is the learning experience in my classroom helping  students to become global citizens?  Are there changes you can make to assure your students are developing those global citizen skills?

Tip from Greg Weikert, Network Administrator

I am getting reports that Windows 10 all of a sudden is not allowing the user to decide whether or not to allow applications access to the camera built into your laptop. I have done the research and a reboot "restart" of your laptop should fix the issue.

I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.You’ve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
