It’s no secret that
I love using QR codes in my classroom, but this year I’ve been trying to
incorporate more student-created QR
code activities. I recently made an inference activity
I’ve been doing for years more interactive by turning it into a student-created
QR code bulletin board.
After having some
fun with this inference riddle website, my students created their own inference
riddles in a similar fashion. I had them
type their riddles in Powerpoint and then generate a QR code with their
top-secret answer. To generate the QR
code, they went to QRStuff.com and clicked the “Plain Text” option. Then they typed their answer in the text box
and clicked “Download QR Code.” The last
step was to drag the QR code into their Powerpoint presentation.
Once I had their
riddles printed and hung up, I let a few students at a time go up to the board
and try to solve their peers’ inference riddles. The QR code on each riddle told them whether
they were correct. Here are a couple close-ups.
We did a similar QR
code bulletin board in math using student-created word problems. I let my students create any type of word
problem using concepts we’ve learned this year.
We ended up with a nice variety of concepts and difficulty-levels. I was happy to see my kiddos actually get
excited about solving word problems when it was time to go up and try out the
bulletin board.
I can't wait to share our new interactive bulletin board with you very soon!:)
Such a fun and easy idea! I love it and will definitely be trying this with my kiddos! Thanks for sharing!!! :)

What a fabulous idea! I've been intimidated by the notion of having my students create their own QR codes but you've inspired me to try it.
ReplyDeleteOh fun! We wrote solar system riddles a month ago in the computer lab, and I was thinking of doing the activity again with animals since they loved it so much! Great idea! Totally stealing it!

Awesome idea! I know in math students really DON'T "appreciate" problem solving. I will try this with my high school students as well. Thanks for !
ReplyDeleteVery nice student driven engagement with simple QR codes. Have you ever tried Aurasma with the word problems/ pictorial models as the trigger image for student made video solutions ?
ReplyDeleteI love these!! Can't wait to try this with my students!!
