Mother's Day Cards

We made Mother's Day cards and recorded a message using the Croak it! App. We embedded our message onto a qr code which we printed and attached to the back of our cards.

My students can sometimes get distracted by games, so I have created this poster so that they know what they are allowed to access during reading time.

QR codes

There are many websites that you can go to in order to create your own QR codes.  The one I use is:
http://www.qrstuff.com/ You can embed text or an URL. In the above example, the QR code takes my class of 6 year olds to a child friendly website on the Monarch butterfly.

Below is an example of how I make websites we use regularly easy for my students to access on their ipads, by using QR codes on the walls of my classroom.

Here I have used a QR code to enable students to follow up a reading lesson on Shipwrecks. The website is about the Titanic which they took a particular interest in when reading.  I found this was also a good way of extending my more able students.

After reading a book about Asteroids, students had to scan codes that took them to information about Asteroids that they then had to glean facts from.
