Twelve Ideas for Teaching with QR Codes Updated 01/2014 As mobile learning becomes more and more prevalent, we must find effective ways to leverage mobile tools in the classroom. As always, the tool must fit the need. A Quick Tutorial QR stands for Quick Response. 1. Have students use QR to create resumes that link to other content such as their professional website or portfolio. 2. You can create QR for linking students to examples of quality work, whether it's PowerPoint or slideshare for a class presentation, or people speaking a foreign language specific to your current lesson. 3. Integrate QR with a PBL or Service Learning project where students can create the codes that will link to the content they create. 4. Save a few trees! 5. Award prizes by having students scan a code leading to an animation or badge. 6. Put codes in different areas of the room that will take students to different online activities, videos or content. 7. Have students check their answers by scanning the QR code after completing a test or assignment.
BenchPrep Is Codecademy For Any Subject, High School To Med School Books are not the best way to learn. To retain knowledge you have to interact with it, and that’s where BenchPrep comes in. The startup licenses textbooks from big publishers like McGraw Hill and converts them into interactive web and mobile learning courses. Today, BenchPrep announces its expansion beyond college admission test prep. The diagnostic tool and additional courses should help the 7-month old BenchPrep build on its existing base of 200,000 users, 7,000 of which are paying customers. BenchPrep users can choose from over 30 courses such as AP US History, SAT Math, California Bar Exam, and Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist — though it leaves computer programming education to Codecademy. I was surprised that big education publishers like McGraw Hill and Princeton Review would be willing to license their materials. In about 7 days, BenchPrep can convert any textbook, say one on Calculus that sells for $50, into an interactive course it can sell for $100.
QR Codes – Lesson and Resources | Digital Learning World In response to recent interest in Quick Response codes I have created some lesson resources to introduce students to QR codes and provide them with some practical experience. The lesson also introduces students to blogging (Digital Learning World) and URL shortening (Bit.Ly and Goo.gl). Students are also encouraged to collaborate by recording their findings in a shared Google document. These resources are intended for Secondary students from Year 7 upwards. Students will need a PC/Laptop with a web cam and access to the Internet. Ideally, students will also use their smart phones. For further information please read the Lesson Outline: ICT Lesson – Introduction to QR Codes The Powerpoint lesson slides: Introduction to QR Codes – Powerpoint Slides Link to Google Document for students to log their results/progress (please take a copy and use this on your own Google Account – don’t forget to share it).

10 Ways to Use QR Codes in the Classroom QR Code Easter Egg Hunt photo © 2008 Mallory Odam | more info (via: Wylio)This week I created a QR code Easter Egg Hunt for my sixth grade students. I wanted to share this early enough for others to have time to do something similar if they wanted even though the students will not come in for a few more days. This activity could be adapted for any subject but we are doing the activity in English/Language Arts. The specific concepts that the teachers wanted included were hyperbole, idioms, main idea, denotation, connotation and some of the prefixes and roots that were recently covered. Once I had the concepts I set to work creating the activity. I would be happy to share the entire document but for the sake of space I'll give a few examples here. Scan the code and complete the hyperboles found on the page: My teacher is so old she _ _ _ _ _ _ cavemen to start a fire. (1st letter) Another example: Scan the code and look under question #3. This QR code links to a webpage explaining these concepts. Happy Hunting!
Le business model Sciences Po XEnvoyer cet article par e-mail Le business model Sciences Po Nouveau ! Pas le temps de lire cet article ? Fermer Un modèle pour la faculté de demain ? L’Ecole libre des sciences politiques, créée à la fin du XIXe siècle et distillant depuis les futures élites de la haute administration, fut des années durant la machine de reproduction sociale de la “upper class”. A l’instigation de Richard Descoings, de brillants jeunes de banlieue mais aussi nombre de candidats étrangers sont venus mêler leurs ambitions qui les conduisent désormais très majoritairement vers le privé. Non vraiment, ce n’est ni une grande école ni une université ; plutôt une organisation hybride, dont le modèle alternatif a tellement changé que toute opinion que vous pourriez avoir à son endroit est à ranger dans le tiroir des idées toutes faites et des préjugés. Deux “scandales” rue Saint-Guillaume ont mis en émoi le landerneau, pourtant il ne s’agit pour cette école en transformation radicale que de dommages collatéraux.
