I have introduced my grade 3's to QR Codes! My practicum placement school is fortunate enough to have a supply of iPads for students to use. I have tried to incorporate the use of technology into a few of my lessons. The grade 3's were blown away that a "mixed up blob like that could magically turn into a website" (quoted by a grade 3 student). I found that QR codes excite the grade 3's and really engag them during some of my lessons. I have linked different QR codes to different websites to explore, learning games, google docs created by me and many other resources.
The other day we used the iPads to create a video letter! After scripting their return letters in social the students were required to video themselves reading their letter. We talked about different ways students could use this technnology as well as inappropriate and appropriate forms. Students loved using the iPads and again students were engaged!
