A Tech Project

Here is a project my Associate Teacher, Lisa Dempster, created in her school library. 

Lisa has created QR codes using QR code generator like http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ for websites she picked or created.  The codes are then blown up to about 3" squares and randomly pasted around the library. 

When students use their personal mobile devices they can scan the code they find in various locations in the library and that will take them to the website associated with the QR code.

A few QR codes were to popular books with video trailers online, some to school library website and some to an interesting page Lisa has created (http://schools.tdsb.on.ca/riverdale/departments/library/qrrci.html) that says "show this page on your mobile screen to the librarian to receive your very own graphite communication device!".

Lisa mentions that only a few students have figured this one out so far.

I think this project aims to approach the students by using the latest technology as a tool to enhance their learning. What an interesting way to motivate students. I am sure Lisa has more cool projects underway.
