Nice!!! Fun. https://t.co/eS2uLPfS3c
A1: Used app to tie in video footage of volcanic activity with Ss science textbooks
Morning - joining you while doing some morning steady state cardio. Ryan from Chicagoland, AP of C&I
A1: I've been using QR codes on the back of my business card for 5 years. It is a recruiting tool to get applicants to our website
A1 5 yrs ago used QR code, in hallways, to remind students to turn off and put phones in locker.
A1: beginning of yr for self guided tour of library, just yesterday as part of session
A1 I use QR Codes to file S portfolios, direct S to websites, differentiate instruction, link to book reviews, get info to P
A1: I've used QR codes for BYOD Scavenger Hunts in class; great for collaboration or self-learning activities
A1: I teach in . Pre-service teachers learn to use QR codes in my course—many have never used them before.
A1 I have seen it used by classroom teachers I have consulted
Hi Craig!!! How are you, my sleepless in CA friend?!
A1) We've used QR codes on the back of task cards so students can get immediate feedback
How is this much different than answering prescribed questions about textbook reading?
A1. QR codes for Ss to access center instructions/ videos of models for learning. Also to access specific websites.
A1.1: Also used at previous school a few yrs ago for science projects. When scanned, S popped up explaining project.
We used Aurasma & other apps to build an interactive art gallery. Qiute possibly my favorite projects ever. https://t.co/aOzztqqIgg
A1) uses QR codes so that students can easily log in to their learning journals
A1 students created summer reading flyers w QR codes linking to book review videos
A1: I've only used QR ccodes. Use dice for group discussions and a way for visitors to see the digital data notebook work of S's.
A1 I used AR to create an iBook with
Whoa. Never used QR codes. Something new!!!! How do I use in the college writing course?
Sorry I'm late. Lisa, MS Principal.
A1: to create Learning streets. Our hallway displays of student work & awards link w QRs to storytelling & portfolios
A1 Use the codes in my syllabi, for assignments, postings, and information on notice boards for my students.
A1 introduced elements4d to elem Sci T. Ss loved seeing reactions
A1. I have used augmented reality personally. I would like to introduce it to my class next year.
You smashed it last time- it's just going to be a lot faster
That is an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing!
That is very much how I use QR codes in my classes as well. Do you have Ss create their own QR codes too?
Would love to hear more about Learning Streets!
A1 maths scavenger hunts, to share text/video, created virtual library reviewing books & history time line
Mike here from NY, TOSA/Tech Integrator. Jumping in a bit late!
Good morning from Greenville, SC!
Good morning STEM teacher from NJ! Always looking forward to this weekly chat!
task cards? can you expand on those?
Gotta love ! Teachers like use it to hook kids on learning in ways they never imagined! https://t.co/Q0KY0nkbPI
A1: Used app to tie in video footage of volcanic activity with Ss science textbooks
A1: also demo'ing for library attendance w - slowly catching on w Ss who like to scan and go
A1: Larry, tech coach from NJ. Checking in late. We are using QR codes on library books to lead S to S-created video reviews!
Hang in there for the whole chat and you will be using them all the time!
https://t.co/vYad1eC510
Whoa. Never used QR codes. Something new!!!! How do I use in the college writing course?
this sounds great, Ryan. Like in galleries/museums?
A1: Love that our library uses QRs in books and displays to deepen access and resource procurement
Thanks for sharing Paul! This is fantastic :)
1) I have used to have multiple activities to share a common vision in faculty meetings!
I haven't but what a great idea! What QR codes have your Ss created? https://t.co/koi0ZnEl07
That is very much how I use QR codes in my classes as well. Do you have Ss create their own QR codes too?
A1 Haven’t yet but by staying tuned to I may get some ideas.
A1: I like the idea of using QR codes for each individual student on desks or lockers. Great way to display student work.
A1: My husband uses scanning to make ALL his yearbooks come alive with video of students/sports
Thnx Chris, will probably drop into more often...at least 6 mths of the yr. daylight saving/time zones
A1:I've used QR codes for group tasks, independent study, math challenges, & recorded readings for those that missed out.
Any issues with using QR codes for Ss without smart phones? What are their options?
You can connect students to tutorials and online resources
Check out www.qrstuff and download the goo.gl url shortener to create them. You could do group Q's or link to resources.
I tried to use QR codes to link parent/student survey at end of Open House. Didn't get the volume of responses I was hoping for.
Usually I have have them create them to share work they’ve created. Good learning opportunity for them!
A1 Plickrs in classroom, instant feedback.
i.e. students sort out three different object lengths and then order them. Scan and check their answer https://t.co/R0dk9mGgMJ
task cards? can you expand on those?
a1: I've used QR codes to link students and teachers to curated resources and tutorial pages
Good morning, peeps! Linda Brecht-Kwirant, coming in late. Elementary Principal, SW Iowa.
Yes! It's such a quick way to get students logged in
Find ways to make things happen, not reasons why we can't do things! https://t.co/IIhm7WJ1jO
In some places IT wags the dog, telling teachers what they can and cannot access. This is backwards.
These are really great ideas. Thanks, Monica. I clipped this to try.
with the QR linking back to a folder of student learning? Or individual displays?
Recorded Ss reflecting on their creation Paintings acted as triggers for vids in Aurasma. Anyone in library could view
Ha ha yes time zones one of the few barriers to Twitter
and I like to use QR codes at end of pres for participants to have all the referenced materials in one spot.
A1 part I. I have not used QR codes, but looks exciting to use with students in the classroom.
A1 part I. I have not used QR codes, but looks exciting to use with students in the classroom.
A1: How had it been successful at the elementary level where students may not have a cell phone?
A1 Used AR for Ss to create book trailers in media center, gallery walks for parents. QR codes with yearbook to share video pres.
need a tutorial - this is something I probably should be using and I'm not
Teams. I don't have 1:1 and not everyone has a good phone, so I say "Get someone w a good phone in your group."
You are not a lone stranger. I am a brand new learner too! https://t.co/8tS5SAUZUi
Whoa. Never used QR codes. Something new!!!! How do I use in the college writing course?
I had to write the short cut for the links too & write the name of a QR app so they could download after trying mine.
A1. part II Any youtube videos you would recommend I can watch? Thanks.
A1. part II Any youtube videos you would recommend I can watch? Thanks.
A1. I have also used QR codes for parents to sign up for conferences, volunteering and donations.
QR code discussion fascinating this morning on . Didn't realize so many were using it.
Andy, middle years principal in and soon to be near Winnipeg. Here for a bit. Thanks.
Listen to Reading in K-1. Link to stories on YouTube or other listen to reading sites.
I had/have issues with this as well, not sure why? So simple to use, but still a little apprehensive.
This is a great idea! https://t.co/NnURba7DGq
A1: Use QR codes in a to take Ss to skill-building videos...doesnt always have to be a T teaching satchat
A1 Does anyone have a good resource to share how to really use the QR codes, best apps etc.
Q2: Do you have a favorite augmented reality app? How have you used it?
GM! Joining a bit late. A1: This is a new topic for me but I'm excited to learn!
A1: Our literary mag used QR codes to embed podcasts of students.
. I've used them in the past - found same results. Can't figure it out. Unfamiliar? Just don't care about content? Smh.
Let's recognize the value tech holds as a means to an end. The "end" is where autonomous leaning BEGINS! https://t.co/pynl08ecmd
A1 students created summer reading flyers w QR codes linking to book review videos
A1: When I get back in classroom I want to use codes for Ss to booktalk 📚for others as incentive to read https://t.co/C0S4OqKlr9
A1: Love that our library uses QRs in books and displays to deepen access and resource procurement
Chrome extension goo.gl url shortener is my favorite for creating QR codes quickly.
Here for just a little while I'm Jenn a Lit Coach from LI NY what's the topic this morning?
Hoping to learn ideas for using QR codes in my kindergarten classroom. This is my first !
Do you have issues with getting students to print them out? I'm struggling a little with this.
That is a lot of great application. Love the math challenges and recording uses.
Nice. We've also placed QR codes with book talks on the shelves. https://t.co/8uKsMC88vo
A1: When I get back in classroom I want to use codes for Ss to booktalk 📚for others as incentive to read https://t.co/C0S4OqKlr9
A1: Love that our library uses QRs in books and displays to deepen access and resource procurement
https://t.co/aOzztqqIgg blog post explaining entire process Including teleprompter app so we could shoot vids w/o edit
A1 or to teachers w/o Smart phones - I only got one 3 weeks ago :)) .
A1 Ss practice speaking skills by recording themselves reading their writing pieces then attach QR code to writing
Can be either. Great for Parent/Teacher conferences. While parents wait, scan the code and view student art work.
After months of being around watching me participate in , excited my wife joining in this morning!
Agreed! So Craig, the immediate feedback would be an answer? Or a video on the solution?
Does widespread use of QR widen the techquity gap?
My husband teaches me!!! You could have kids book talk books! Ss then scan to see video https://t.co/jo2rrm1zQN
need a tutorial - this is something I probably should be using and I'm not
how much does the feedback mean though if it's automated? Even if the teacher makes it?
A2: I've used for S science and composer projects. Really want to do a word wall w/ Ss explaining term next year!
A1: I recommend to educators who train with me for interviews to use QR code to their digital portfolio
A2 my all time fave augmented reality app is student fave too!
A2) still leads the way for me. Triggers were used to go to student video explanations
A1 create bk review vids and place QR code on spine or cover of library books
Typically it is just the answer or solution It could easily be moving them to a next task though. hmm
A1: I do a unit on augmented reality! Ss create signs 2 introduce Ts and when scanned, shows a video about the class
works great with maps... Virtual field trip for us up here in Alaska!
takes pictures of her S's holding their own QR code to post outside for anyone to scan & see their work in GDrive.
I haven’t…but I can see that it could be an issue.
A2: . Hear me out on this: Kids love the filters, took it upon themselves to use for academics. And it's great!
A2: Would love ideas for AR in HS history. Most of what I've seen is too young or science
Great idea. I'll have to share this with our lit magazine team. https://t.co/7oPLFj79sX
A1: Our literary mag used QR codes to embed podcasts of students.
Good Morning! Melissa Frans, teacher, Omaha, NE.
A2 Do not/have not used AR, but looking to add it to the tool box. Any suggested starting points?
Have them copy and paste the QR code image into a Google Doc and print?
A2) My favorite with the kids is
because of its simplicity. Brings drawings to life.
I check his first on most topics!
Where is the best place to house your digital portfolio? I have played around with a few websites. https://t.co/rk6JiJIj6O
A1: I recommend to educators who train with me for interviews to use QR code to their digital portfolio
I clipped this to read later, too. Some great stuff there, Jerry:) Lots to try today!
A2) Our awesome yearbook organizer used to make the yearbook come alive! https://t.co/KSwbNjKaHF
Q2: Do you have a favorite augmented reality app? How have you used it?
I have devices to provide for Ss who don't have their own. So important to supplement. https://t.co/czk6lmeIeA
Does widespread use of QR widen the techquity gap?
A2 I recently learnt about google translate but haven't tinkered with it yet, has anyone?
Yes, shout out to https://t.co/PN7SchfjXj
A2) still leads the way for me. Triggers were used to go to student video explanations
interesting, lots of potential uses! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, except autonomous LEARNING is even better than autonomous LEANING. C'mon autocorrect, work with me here.
Getting them onto a doc is not the issue, I cannot get the Ss to link to the classroom printer.
A1: We used augmented reality 4 a parent tour, showing key parts of the building (library, cafe, locker rooms, home room)
I like Scott's idea but I also use
Great idea! I have wondered about the best technique for a digital portfolio.
A1: When Ss go on a trip they are to take a photo of something they enjoyed then record the science they learned. Then augment it.
I love how QR codes are free to make and scan - and work with so many different types of devices
Awesome! Thanks! This is why I love
A good starting point would be follow and
https://t.co/bu9nS6wW5t
A2 Do not/have not used AR, but looking to add it to the tool box. Any suggested starting points?
try or ar flashcards! Premade content to get u going!
How about Drive? Use slides to create. It's simple to maintain and secure. Not big on expensive
https://t.co/kiYuz68pkm
Where is the best place to house your digital portfolio? I have played around with a few websites. https://t.co/rk6JiJIj6O
A1: I recommend to educators who train with me for interviews to use QR code to their digital portfolio
A2: Have played with a little for creation, but more for things like Anatomy 4D and Elements.
non-engaging parents are a tough nut to crack.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, need tech support to help with that one, I’m afraid. :-/
❤️ Love this! Great way of celebrating reading with a community of readers. https://t.co/PpECkzFd5H
A1 students created summer reading flyers w QR codes linking to book review videos
My Ks love a QR code. We use them to check sight work spelling. Self checking for math, favorite links in a QR code
A2: is pretty amazing and if that counts.
A1: We also used for Ss to do book reviews and display outside of the library
I use this constantly. It requires me to have a foundation in the language(s), which I do, or translations can be off
A2 We've used and . Students enjoy popular AR books out there that bring reading alive.
I recommend using Google Slides bc easy to maintain and secure.
https://t.co/Luxu5azGfb
Great idea! I have wondered about the best technique for a digital portfolio.
why can't they go see them in person?
His is a better search engine than this Google thing
A2. is the only augmented reality app I have experience with. Would love ideas for use in K classroom.
A2: I haven't used AR much, so I'm learning on this topic.
A1: My art T integrated QR codes with poems abt birch trees into the bark of these birch tree paintings. https://t.co/x7Ggw4t148
. is another awesome resource for a digital portfolio.
Agree with you Allison.
https://t.co/003f8n1bhV
I like Scott's idea but I also use
Good Morning! Love this idea for sharing student work.
I never thought of that!! Great idea! Thanks!
No. We can't set to the LCD, but we can cleverly share and repurpose. Adapt & overcome:) Kids will fight to use tech
Saw at Reggio inspired school in Brooklyn. Easy to use with young sts too. Documentation-no problem
A2: My husband uses it too for his yearbooks. He's a publisher and what he's doing is amazing https://t.co/hEuzY76uIP
A2) Our awesome yearbook organizer used to make the yearbook come alive! https://t.co/KSwbNjKaHF
Q2: Do you have a favorite augmented reality app? How have you used it?
Love to hear kids taking this kind of initiative to find ways of extending their learning w/ tech! https://t.co/MgNd9uTaGM
A2: . Hear me out on this: Kids love the filters, took it upon themselves to use for academics. And it's great!
Me too, need ideas on how to start.
this is fantastic. Thank you for sharing. My wheels are spinning now :)
A2: We use but it's not flawless (but it's free!) The extra step of following a channel isn't clear
It's much better than hanging physical work in the hallway and having to change often.
A1: QR codes linked to video presentation Ss do. Send home and post in school so others can view= improved quality work.
As an administrator, you can also post QR codes around the school that link to a welcome video from the principal via YouTube.
Q3: How can QR codes help students access "just-right" materials?
A2 Sounds great how do you do it - do you have a link?
Have the AR trigger be a piece of their work. Have them be reading or talking about it https://t.co/Luk2cHFptT
A2. is the only augmented reality app I have experience with. Would love ideas for use in K classroom.
Use LiveBinders for our School Handbook. It houses everything & easily refreshed each year for new staff https://t.co/P3A13kzk3h
I like Scott's idea but I also use
Joining a little late. I'm Chantell and I teach 4th gr in a + environment. I love it!
I will send a link to what he's doing
A2: I introduce augmented reality through Quiver coloring sheets that come alive when scanned by the app
Good morning If you have questions about in just shout. I'm only a message away!
A2: Honestly, I have yet to find value-add for augmented reality. Seems like “Oooo…shiny!” Value for learning?
Great question, how so? Making things more (easily) accessible I would say closes the gap?!
A3: QR Codes can help differentiate info, instructions, projects, and focus students on skills they need
https://t.co/HBXOh3SRFR
Q3: How can QR codes help students access "just-right" materials?
A3 eagerly awaiting replies to this Q
My prim Ss w/ the help made their play bill come to life w/ . when you scanned the photo it told about their play
Put one up on screen to start class, takes them directly to bell ringer. Have another to check answer.
Empower teacher leaders 2 push forward, take risks, do what's best 4 students, & get out of their way!
https://t.co/Otmjs9W3S1
A3: I think augmented reality makes the info multi dimensional, increases engagement, and increases retention. Aka- it's more fun!
Thank you! I showed her the birch tree art & I showed her how to create QR codes. She ran w/ the project!
A2) Also used at our night. Bulletin board with trigger images and an iPad for guests to use and view Ss videos.
How are you using ? Sounds interesting...
That is my favorite for most. The goo.gl shortener is good for quick QR's when you are on a certain site.
Good morning Much of this is new learning for me https://t.co/WfvkZMJTqL
A2. is the only augmented reality app I have experience with. Would love ideas for use in K classroom.
I've been wondering if kids could use for virtual pen pal programs with Intl. S's. Wish I knew of a program!
A3 QR codes take the Ss to where you want them to go-allows for differentiation among activities
A2: and anything from Daqri
Not setting: considering & being sensitive to families where this isn't an option. Looking 4 alternatives. https://t.co/47xZiTTD5R
No. We can't set to the LCD, but we can cleverly share and repurpose. Adapt & overcome:) Kids will fight to use tech
Couple examples of augmented reality in the writing classroom?
Q3: for HS Ss, I can individualize sites/resources for each learner - less sifting thru for them, more time to focus on task
Hey! GM! Would love to discover more about AR in the classroom...
A3: QR codes allow me to easily differentiate and provide appropriate resources for my primary Ss.
Wait. A. Minute. Check it out https://t.co/pznUPmWyBL
A1: Use QR codes in a to take Ss to skill-building videos...doesnt always have to be a T teaching satchat
A3) A QR code could be linked to a video that is specific to what the students are working on.
A2: Math Alive, because counting moving things on a screen is better than counting actual moving things. https://t.co/wDfry7tH3L
I'm intrigued. Will definitely check this out. Thanks for the resource.
I would love some ideas for K too.
it's a little cardboard viewer that you can order for cheap & just use google earth or cultural institute
A3: A SS teacher last year used QR codes around the city during mobile learning to link Ss to ?s and info about the location.
A3 use of QR codes supports differentiation & eliminates digital distraction by Ss
a1: Just thought of this: Putting QR codes in front student work that link to a blog/video/write up & put it out for every1 to see
Exactly. Ss can keep moving by checking answers, access to resources, etc... Ts don't need to stop for little things
Can you link me to examples of this? We talking virtual world where learning happens?
So, it's not an option to share? Let's figure this out then. What do you have? Let's find a solution for you now:)
. Identify leveled resources on web, S's scan as they complete or when need assistance. Build skill through QR codes
A3 QR allows Ts to select appropriate content to meet Ss need
A3: QR codes make it faster and easier to access materials than typing in a URL.
second time i've seen mentioned, I need to look into this
FYI - fits w your work https://t.co/kb8WyZgXGr
A1: to create Learning streets. Our hallway displays of student work & awards link w QRs to storytelling & portfolios
Super cool, ! Well played, .
Funny how actual reality never occurs to us, huh?
I would love to know more about using Snapchat for student learning https://t.co/4XA4gfOwyL
A2: . Hear me out on this: Kids love the filters, took it upon themselves to use for academics. And it's great!
Like Twitter, Instagram & Snapchat are great tools to celebrate literacy snapshots from the students and by the students.
Q3. It can provide a scaffold to Ss, connecting them to just right activities or resources on the Internet. Allows dif. of instruct
A3: Use QR to put additional support like vocab/ guiding Qs on tough primary sources
I'm wondering about this, too. In what ways might AR help learning in English & Literature? ?
Really like this idea, I completed a similar project where primary StS reflect on their work
Interesting, I just learned about LiveBinders, I could try that in the future.
https://t.co/PiNWlE1GXC
Use LiveBinders for our School Handbook. It houses everything & easily refreshed each year for new staff https://t.co/P3A13kzk3h
I like Scott's idea but I also use

Joining. Just arrived. HS ELA teacher good morning!
A3: In our library, we use QR codes to link book trailers to the covers of books. Helps non-readers get psyched about stories.
A2 agree nothing can beat the real deal Doing is better than watching
I can agree to some extent but it def enhances the experience and often gets many students excited about an activity.
Could you give a sample? https://t.co/XTB2Xfn5DX
A3: QR codes allow me to easily differentiate and provide appropriate resources for my primary Ss.
A3: On leveled bins, QR's for lists or sites. Posters w/QR's for different subject practice links. Handout for P's w/class links.
A3: QR codes + can take Ss to resources to create their own personalized learning environment https://t.co/IKuv1gYBbx
You can do things like tag a poster in a hallway or classroom & have it lead to a website or video.
Navigating edtech can be a minefield of roadblocks. I learned from video games:there's always a way around, not easy
A2) Augmented Reality book reviews designed by Ss are posted in the library for students to view before choosing a book.
Yeah, that's what I'm asking... ;) https://t.co/PVCb9SPJ5c
I'm wondering about this, too. In what ways might AR help learning in English & Literature? ?
When I get to my computer I will send you some. I do post on my blog Diary of a Techie Chick.
exactly - links to resource pg, in a pinch can do simple list of best tools for them on library's pg
I can appreciate that. Tech often increases motivation. Is that enough of an affordance to use it?
A3: I am unfamiliar but after today this is a topic I will explore more. I didn't realize how much you could do with QR codes!
Threre are so many ways you can do things you just can't do in "real life" which is why I love AR
A3: QR dice are my favorite for group discussion. Lots of templates out there. Or print them on stickers for hard dice.
Love this idea! https://t.co/YiCFd51b2G
A3: In our library, we use QR codes to link book trailers to the covers of books. Helps non-readers get psyched about stories.
would love to see breakout sessions on QR and Augmented Reality on 11.12.16
I've seen Ss do book reviews & movie trailers for works being read. Ups engagement factor when others will see.
Cool! I've seen it mentioned several times...need to explore further!
all Ts and Ss check out this app instantly
totally! the goal: help show Ss thought process/ learning throughout the project & reflecting on their learning
Have Ss record a reflection on project, why they did the way they did, what they'd change, etc. Put QR link on work when displayed.
In the end, I still want my students to learn by doing firsthand whenever possible! :-)
A3: QR codes also allow us to make library displays and bulletin boards interactive.
It is fun to have students build and use the cubes. The accompanying lessons are great and easily adaptable.
They love it!
Next year, we will try to eliminate the cash purchase of the ticket
Learning math through virtual cooking way better than cooking for real. No mess. Nothing to eat when done! https://t.co/AmJXVFTKb8
A3: Using the QR helps HS Ss - sometimes they are embarrassed when other Ss see the differentiated work being passed out
Yes he did video edit but he uses app in yearbook
Q4: How can be used to create interactive spaces?
A3 qr codes on machines (copiers/printers/etc.) in schools to lead to help & troubleshooting videos for Ts & Ss
A3: Our math dept has a QR that is permanent. The warm up ? is linked to a google doc, Ts just change the prob not the QR code.
Ts can put links on website or LMS, but QR codes on walls give T visual of what Ss are working on when & allows Ss to move.
Honestly, it's new for me, because kids did it and demanded it. So now I'm thinking, "Hmmm..."
with more time, can link to articles, resources in premium databases that address their topic on indiv. level
Right, things that are inaccessible, wrong scale, too dangerous, etc. But how often is this the case?
Do you know how this would work with a District Firewall? Anyway around it?
Saturday....It's about time.
When Ss select topics to write about, I might not have books that meet their needs, so we search, make codes
That's assuming the Ts are comfortable with the tech - not always the case https://t.co/IvgZtKk5Vz
A3 qr codes on machines (copiers/printers/etc.) in schools to lead to help & troubleshooting videos for Ts & Ss
A3 uses QR codes at Quest Fest exhibition so visitors and parents and kids can "see" into project exhibits
This looks really cool, ! I heart global engagement for S's!
Really easy to do! Kids love creating videos on our green screen and using the app.
we would love to see more ambassadors out there to help build this Regional Super EdCamp
I love this idea. https://t.co/5ntBsDVJjg
A3: QR codes allow me to easily differentiate and provide appropriate resources for my primary Ss.
thanks. I'm a fan of matching tool to purpose, so wondering how QR/AR act as tools for learning.
Ok great, this is exactly what I needed
Thank you Karen! I thought it was a great way for the T to have Ss integrate art, technology & literature.
A4. QR codes can be connected to tasks to complete or questions to answer. There is an action associated with the QR code.
I agree. If only motivating for brief period, best to move on. If it can lead to a bigger idea/task, go for it!
You can build a private social network where students can choose to share openly in the public using
PLZ send my way also https://t.co/5OraIPdUQS
When I get to my computer I will send you some. I do post on my blog Diary of a Techie Chick.
A3: Anybody use differentiated “menus” of learning activities? I’m thinking QR codes could be perfect for this.
QR codes are a shortcut. So if URL works in school, QR code works. Need to get around firewall? Ask Ss
A4: I am planning & hopefully can do a QR code back to school night experience.
Scan a code get info, resources, links, messages
This. So much this. https://t.co/o37KEk3X8c
thanks. I'm a fan of matching tool to purpose, so wondering how QR/AR act as tools for learning.
Can you explain what QR DIce is? Sounds interesting!
Another teacher gave me the idea to have Ss podcast about diff parts of the school & have QR codes up for Open House.
A3: QR codes can also makes the hierarchy of skills in the classroom less obvious to students.
A3) QR codes are great to embed into lessons for students but also use them for PD with our teachers.
Also, in math I can provide resources for Ss to meet their needs and provide practical practice to gain confidence
So...we're preserving self-esteem via QR codes? https://t.co/IpX9AwPGeP
A3: Using the QR helps HS Ss - sometimes they are embarrassed when other Ss see the differentiated work being passed out
love love love this!! Tell me more!
To answer, I need a an ed objective. Good game=> Give the objective, I give the tool:)
I’m doing doctoral work in , and I find I’ve become MUCH more critical of the way we use tech for learning. :-)
Use url shortners, any can use. Survey staff how many of them have QR code reader?
A3: Ss can go beyond the walls of the classroom library to find what they need. My Ss used a lot for this.
Great idea! https://t.co/P8RdEJmWMk
A3: Our math dept has a QR that is permanent. The warm up ? is linked to a google doc, Ts just change the prob not the QR code.
A3: A T could differentiate/level links by changing the color of QR codes as well. I know QRStuff lets you format the code.
I've had issues with "home" access for "school" work...I'll need to address with T-Admin...
I’m right with you on this, by the way. I think this is a helpful heuristic for any tools.
A4 QR codes & auras to create interactive time lines on walls & share video book reviews,writing etc in library bks
Agreed, It must always serve the objective or you end up w a pile o'gadgets.
A4) Bulletin boards can come to life. They can either showcase student work or it could be an interactive wall for learning
A3: Scannable tech can be used to level-up skills in a at a Ss own pace
Most definitely,I encourage our teachers in our schools to connect beyond our shores
love the idea of student podcasts. Check out
A4 we will engage Ss in discussions on 21st Cent. Skills-How can we increase S Crit. Think, Caring, Collaboration, Creativity, etc
Another awesome resource! Thanks!
use tech to teach kids how to think not what to think
Here it make sense. You know the audience is tech savvy and you provide on demand instruction.
also find as we move deeper into VR from a creating not consuming mode, kids take learning N2 new spaces https://t.co/BZS9cIelgA
A4 QR codes explain activity for Ss to complete, great way for students to work collaboratively
perhaps it should serve the children?
e.g. understanding a text (like a novel) or concept (like ideology).
Thank you, greatly appreciated
You create 6 QR codes w/ Q's or links. Group members roll dice & scan to discuss/search. I'll find the template & share.
Share more about using for professional learning please https://t.co/41BBEwLkvJ
A3) QR codes are great to embed into lessons for students but also use them for PD with our teachers.
I dig QR codes as art. That is transofrmational
Last year had Ss talk in then made QR code. Parents scanned codes to hear Ss share about our classroom
Helps Lesson flow & student centered. Ss can check answers, & be directed to resources.
Did you get our book yet? Great summer read / book study. Book study resources for you coming
https://t.co/08DdbFPlwV
Featured books in library should include "recommendations" from Ss- QR code w/Ss review of book and why they liked it.
Right! Tech should function as cognitive tools for learning. https://t.co/0S3fCBkkHq
use tech to teach kids how to think not what to think
A4 QR can be used for treasure hunt, or link to steps in a process. Ss moving thru self-paced
Being blocked by a firewall when at home...
Have been thinking about doing something like this for math homework next year. Interesting idea with QR codes
I did this with in my classroom! Lots of fun!
Yes! We did this for open house 2 years ago. P's loved it. Ss explained how it worked. Great learning for all!
The more experience I gain I find I take a more critical look too. Over time & with successes/failures helps get here.
The learning objective. Whatever that is should always serve the students, at least that's what I think.
It allows the T to become a facilitator and even learn alongside the Ss. https://t.co/lnEUkkdToE
Here it make sense. You know the audience is tech savvy and you provide on demand instruction.
I like to color code my QR codes when using for differentiation. Makes things so much easier.
I SMELL DAY 1 ICEBREAKER!!!! Awesome thanks a ton!
If we are talking homework than the notification panel/shade should be the target of interaction
I'm struggling getting Ts to use Twitter https://t.co/WdalKdsqvM
Most definitely,I encourage our teachers in our schools to connect beyond our shores
looking forward to exploring this resource- thanks again.
Great EOY project, Ss made QR codes explaining rituals and routines. New students will scan during BOY. Ss teaching Ss!
Here's the QR template I created for my PD last week. The tabs aren't perfect, but it worked. https://t.co/CH2QIHzr4f
. podcasts create path 2 agency MS kids created "in middle America" interview series
and fingers, people, cars, buildings, windows, dogs, cats, clouds, stars, sides on a stop sign... https://t.co/6Y2SotllwJ
we started this at the end of the year...reading times went through the roof!
It is great for icebreakers and faculty meetings.
I've seen QR codes made from blocks.. It was exciting when it actually worked!
It can bring the world to life for some Ss.Now if Ss solve a problem they see in the AR it would bump up the use level.
I used menus when I taught MS science. If I had this kind of tech 7 years ago, I would have done it with QR codes!
Q5: What do you think the future holds for and virtual reality?
QR codes are great "clues" in games. Why not use them to introduce topics in school? Use as hints to guess next topic
I love this idea https://t.co/Pp4UpQEnTn
You create 6 QR codes w/ Q's or links. Group members roll dice & scan to discuss/search. I'll find the template & share.
yeah if its something different awesome. 95% of the time just post a url.
This is a great idea! Color-coded QR codes! https://t.co/q7j7QIUHqc
I like to color code my QR codes when using for differentiation. Makes things so much easier.
at least its a noble goal. but yeah kind words probably work a lot better huh?
introduced to AR yrs ago by (TY), thought "that's cool." now head exploding with possibilities
VR is an option for Ss who might not be able to take part (for lots of reasons) in this type of experience
Love this one! https://t.co/gr8v9hYzQJ
Featured books in library should include "recommendations" from Ss- QR code w/Ss review of book and why they liked it.
imp to be critical! use AR to help visual learners, comm complex ideas (animate a process), pique curiosities ...
Can you post to private youTube "school" channel?
Let's hear your thoughts...
https://t.co/QLUCY3O7Gx
Q5: What do you think the future holds for and virtual reality?
4th Ss practiced SO much to read their poems smoothly Bare Books were scanned. S engagement = win.
A4: I had students create book trailers with Animoto and create QR codes. We pasted the QR codes on the books. Ss loved it!
I'Il share the editable dice template after the chat. I can't keep up if I look now.
OMG! What an amazing idea!
A5 - going to help us create STUDENT CHOICE environments.
A5: Possibilities are endless for virtual tech. I am unsure what this might look like.
Great idea! https://t.co/mndog098LM
Another teacher gave me the idea to have Ss podcast about diff parts of the school & have QR codes up for Open House.
I'm wondering about integrating into implementation of at K-5 level https://t.co/OsdPPQmYEl
I used menus when I taught MS science. If I had this kind of tech 7 years ago, I would have done it with QR codes!
I used menus when I taught a 4th/5th grade combo class..oh to have QR codes would have been a huge help to me and S
Thank you! The students loved the project! Very easy and they came out beautiful!
You're not alone. Ts need to see value. They need to see positive connections How do they teach Ss 21st Cent skills?
A5: Lots of exciting stuff for future of but scannable tech has HUGE potential for supporting learners / learning
QR codes on books w/voice for Kinders is great too. I use that in my classroom library.
most excited for VR, being in a rural area, it will give kids access to things they wouldn't otherwise!
Once you start they will demand even more...so easy and flexible!
A5. More ways to engage Ss. Also more ways for Ss to have authentic learning experiences, using primary source texts.
I love interview style podcasts! That one sounds amazing!
A5) I think the future has students creating their interactive worlds and being able to interact within the space.
A5: The and VR space is moving so quickly! I think the future will open the door for more interactive learning exps
Do they have handheld devices?
lol, maybe but I am pretty sure you have shared some great ideas!
A5: AR could help schools save $ if Ts add recent video footage /info to existing texts. Scary for book publishers maybe
I haven't heard of icloseread, but I can imagine it would work. Using the Q's as each side?
A5 The individualized learning that could happen, group work with projects hitting the 4Cs! So many opportunities
I think many Ts are skeptical b/c of the media hype of the "wrong" things
And, we wonder why US education is in the gutter...
Increased access is why I love and VR https://t.co/dVol71d1oa
most excited for VR, being in a rural area, it will give kids access to things they wouldn't otherwise!
my Ss will use this next year, excited.
Sorry, gotta run. Kid duty. If anyone is looking for edtech support join us for . 6/14 @ 8pm https://t.co/YNq3XHhbpS
A5: Virtual reality has some interesting possibilities for education. We may not be able to envision changes to come!
Got to go feed the kids breakfast. Little League playoff season. I'll post a QR code to a picture...actually just the picture.
I can, but they must be within the school domain to access...I have my own channel though
the media very rarely highlights the good we do on Twitter
Sorry I am such a QR skeptic. They seem clunky and don't usually fit the audience we are serving with them IMO.
A4 Used QR code for parents to scan at Open House to receive a message from their child. They loved it.
Please share, Pam. I LOVE the idea!!
Is there any way to set up tech offline? Internet is a big issue for families here
A5: Access to the Internet shifted education in irreversible ways. I think VR will do the same thing, and we can’t yet predict how.
A5: maybe we should get a handle on the present first.
Yes, creating a "class" youTube account can be a good work around.
A5: I have seen how excited ppl get with VR field trips imagine for Ss who cannot travel and can view the world.
an option yes but as a teacher it is my job to allow for opportunities for Ss to have experiences
Would love to hear more! Can you share later?
I'm discovering they come up w better ideas than me there
Yes great idea, IF parents understand it. https://t.co/2R82P93Kxt
A4 Used QR code for parents to scan at Open House to receive a message from their child. They loved it.
I have also added the shortened url to the bottom in case QR readers aren't available.
Not familiar w/ will have to check it out. Mine use . Free & easy for Ss to upload to.
I think it takes a while to get Ss & fams used to it. Everywhere in previous school, didn't know what they were at new.
Exactly. We need to teach Ss to create a positive dig footprint & portfolio. Ts need to do the same!
A5 - Teachers create the map with however students choose the path. STUDENT CHOICE
I do this and it works out very well https://t.co/PHRLQyD29b
A4: I am planning & hopefully can do a QR code back to school night experience.
Scan a code get info, resources, links, messages
A5: Thinking in terms of how much students would learn designing VR environs for other audiences.
yup. or because we sense when we are getting a sales pitch.
Can't wait for Ss that learned under scannable tech and virtual reality to bring understanding as Ts. We need to become Ss too
A5 I think gives a great picture of what the future holds for and . I was blown away. Can also 3D print!
S: "That makes it stick in someone's head." Powerful words from VR video creators, https://t.co/ilqNTsGfb9
also find as we move deeper into VR from a creating not consuming mode, kids take learning N2 new spaces https://t.co/BZS9cIelgA
Dave - I so agree . VR as where you can go and what you can make as a young person
A5: flattens the classroom/school. Codes open doors to other worlds, sites, and levels. https://t.co/kqGYTKvd5s
Q5: What do you think the future holds for and virtual reality?
SUCH a great idea. Love it! Encourages Ss to write and parents love to get the message.
Via : More Than 6 Million U.S. Students Are 'Chronically Absent' https://t.co/rEBSUeYFiR But...we're discussing QR codes...
Individualized learning happens all the time. Just not on the topics we demand.
Love this idea! https://t.co/pvtbPnsl4U
A4 Used QR code for parents to scan at Open House to receive a message from their child. They loved it.
If they don't, their Ss can explain it. Now you've put your Ss in the teacher role.
You just hit on a great use for QR. Choose path/adventure. Which QR code did you scan? Why? Have Ss write reflection.
this might work, I might have to create an account for each student though...issues with shared work
2nd last yr, 3rd this yr.
No apologies needed! You are not alone, and we should always ask questions. Questions are good! https://t.co/yioUZ9lcCp
Sorry I am such a QR skeptic. They seem clunky and don't usually fit the audience we are serving with them IMO.
A5 I see the end to the question "What do I do now?"
Keep the account private (must have link) Link only to their Ss work using QR code?
What are some VR places students you know have visited?
Q6: Share a goal you have for using QR codes and/or augmented reality.
A5: in my doc class, I threw in a VR just to see-couldn't get enough. Wasn't prepared with more. Bad idea. https://t.co/kqGYTKvd5s
Q5: What do you think the future holds for and virtual reality?
Great idea! All about choice-creates student buy in! Love the reflection piece!
many have access 2 IPads I think . .Not N classroom/currently at state,hopefully can use N a new future N MA https://t.co/ND6iAxyoPF
Do they have handheld devices?
I also used QR codes at to take participants to "cool tools" to promote various apps.
A2 an idea but how does one set it up?
Hello and ! Looks like a great chat!
A6: Mentioned it already, but want to do AR word wall with older Ss demonstrating musical terms next yr.
would love any advice or resources
https://t.co/ZPBExSM0aP
I do this and it works out very well https://t.co/PHRLQyD29b
A4: I am planning & hopefully can do a QR code back to school night experience.

Hey Tammy.. How are you doing?
Yes. Tech can be great for students, but teachers need to be organized and structured to make it useful. https://t.co/2TvsOYC0p7
use tech to teach kids how to think not what to think
Still looking for that new future in MA but I would like 2 begin integrating tech wherever I am https://t.co/ND6iAxyoPF
Do they have handheld devices?
A6: I want to help more students share their work using ! Off of devices and into interactive spaces
Awesome...sounds like a viable solution! THANKS!
A5: VR is the way of the future IMO. Go invest in Facebook or any other VR company now!
I agree- lock down is the issue. But as Ts we sometimes we must find a way to make the system we live in work.
This is a REAL issue in many schools!
Perhaps just an overview?
self PD tools for the next school year.
A6: Bringing the world into the classroom using VR right from Ss texts. https://t.co/Tv0inmP90N
Q6: Share a goal you have for using QR codes and/or augmented reality.
Late to the party but here with coffee and a well rested brain!
Very cool https://t.co/idUB74otDv
A6: Mentioned it already, but want to do AR word wall with older Ss demonstrating musical terms next yr.
A6 QR/AR goal: To have Ss do more of the creating, not just consuming the experience created for them. Have to let them try & fly!
This a great reminder why we should challenge ourselves and take risks! Preparing students for the future!
is now trending in USA, ranking 2
add that with Nearpod feature of just dropping it in, then add an iPad and Whoa! The world is lit 360 degrees
I understand why it is needed, but also understand why it must be more open! frustrating!
A6: I want to get teachers scanning QR codes to get to important sites/tools discussed in PD.
A6 I want Ss to create more QR codes of their work, projects, how can I continue to use-up my game!
HMW model classroom ideation?
Which puts more on the Ts while Ss suffer. Admin needs to get on board so Ts can teach & Ss learn responsibility
Great idea! What tools would you share? Why do this rather than sharing a url? https://t.co/ITC8s5c9se
A6: I want to get teachers scanning QR codes to get to important sites/tools discussed in PD.
We used for all of those. When bk cover scanned, S would come up doing review or reading work for Bare Book.
outstanding role model. Ss are now trendsetters.
I guess lots of museums have this but equally one could arrange a visit to a local museum
A6) I'd like to have students connect and to share more with their learning through scannable tech
A6-Great to model this in "QR Playground" in planning time with staff
A5 IMO every version of tech we know now will B gone or more sophisticated in 2 yrs -need tchers as flex learners 2 advantage tools
Learning goals for me to learn how to use QR codes , then share it with other teachers
My kids went to Mars (for fun) then White Pocket, AZ and Glacier Point, CA to study rock formations
That would be a cool PD using QR codes!
Nothing like modeling for the faculty! Show them the value-add…and it might show up in their classes too! https://t.co/L78INiXNVS
A6: I want to get teachers scanning QR codes to get to important sites/tools discussed in PD.
Also could link QR code to form for parent contact info and they could fill out while there.
A6: I want to use QR codes to share Ts learning. I want to link to their profile with their badges to show what Ts have mastered.

How about an AR wall that triggers playable music?! Could even link to Google Form for voting...most creative, etc.
Hey Bill me too and hopefully someone here on will guide us
The Ss are already out in the world in tech,now it's time to bring the world into the class https://t.co/D3fkicbDHW
For movie trailers, S would create it & upload into when trigger scanned. Haven't tried that 1 in person yet.
Love the idea of AR/ VR to see the places we study - too many Ss have never left the state
Thank you for resources, recos, ideas - will review on the reference desk today
They most definitely are! They choose podcasting often as final products or to just have their ideas heard.
That's my classroom, so that's what I normally think about!
Love what we are doing w to create micro virtual environments to engage kids across schls
Not always the admins! Some admins are on board, but IT shuts it down. IT should support Ts, not hinder.
. Teleportation of myself to school to avoid traffic.
our classes must connect.
Use programs like or to create flyers to promote their creations. Include QR codes to Ss portfolio
That could be cool for a colleague's composition projects! Thanks for the idea!
Yes! Helps parents see that tech will be used with purpose, even if simple one. Can set a nice tone.
