Ideas and new learning from the visit to Te Kowhai School 13 of August 2013



Was brave today and led a conversation about what i have been doing with QR codes in my class.  Was great to meet Kent who has a year 2 class and he shared how he’s been using QR codes with his year 2 class:

·         Vocaroo – voice recording tool where there is an option to get the voice recording published as a QR code.  Can save this as an image and load this up on the kids blogs

·         Get children to reflect on their learning about a piece of artwork – get them to record their reflections and print out the QR codes.  Then attach these to the kids artwork.  People can then scan the codes and listen to their reflections.

·         Book reviews using QR codes

·         Padlet – print this out as a QR code – children scan this using the ipad and it leads them to the padlet – he used it with a writing prompt.

·         He is now going to investigate how to use this effectively for some math challenges.

 

Check out my class blogs next week as we are going to give vocaroo a go for recording our mihis and creating the QR codes.

    So glad you were "brave" and led a learning session with our colleagues from Te Kowhai. This proves to me that we are truly involved in a community of practice. Your sharing models the importance for others that when we freely exchange expert and novice positions we are accepting our collective responsibility for learning, and it also forms the basis for our strong culturally based belief in participating in communities of practice.

    Well done you!
