QR Codes

I chose to investigate QR Codes.  The codes will be used in the classroom with high frequency words. I plan on creating code cards, similar to flash cards for student use. The students scan the codes with the iPads. After scanning, they will read the word the code illustrates, and then they will record the word creating a personal list of high frequency words. This activity satisfies CCSS RF2.3- Students will be apply to know and apply grade level phonics and word analysis when speaking and writing.

Using the QR Code Generator was fairly easy. You simply type in the word that the code will represent. Pick a design format. There were three to choose from. Then choose a color for the code. Press done and a code is generated.  I downloaded the codes into a file for printing onto colored card stock.

Because there are 300 words the students must know, I will color code the sets according to grade level acquisition expectations. Then, the students will be able to observe their personal growth through the different sets of cards that are completed with success. The written lists of words generated by the students during the activity will be used as a formative assessment.
