QR Code Quests


I recently put togwther a QR code quest using Google Slides. The goal was to provide 5 resources on a Google Slide over a specific topic. I chose to cover Chinese Dynasties. I have 5 separate dynasties and created a QR code for 5 different resources that cover 5 different dynasties. I chose to use QR Code Generator (the-qrcode-generator.com) to make my QR codes.
Making QR codes are as simple as copying a URL and pasting it into the website I provided above. It instantly creates a QR code that can then be copied and pasted as well. Therefore, I copied and pasted these codes onto a Google Slide. 

Here is a link to my QR Code Quest: QR Code Quest.

It forces students to be independent 2. It requires students to actually study the content because it shows in the classroom if they did not prepare 3. It premotes more engagement in the classroom and more social engagement because often times they are working in groups complete their practice in the classroom 4. All in all, it is a good strategy when used correctly          - It because a bad strategy when the teacher uses it to be lazy in the classroom.

You can view this link to watch a quick video on how to use Google Forms:  Google Forms Tutorial .  Ways to use Google Forms as a formative assessment: 1. Pretest (beginning of unit) 2. Exit Ticket (throughout the unit) 3. Post Test (end of unit) Purposes: It allows you to get a better understanding of where the students are at the beginning of the unit. The pretest might tell you that you might need to focus instruction more on vocabulary because the students do not have much prior knowledge at all, or it might tell you that you can start further into the meat of the content because they expressed a good amount of prior knowledge. Exit tickets can show if you need to revisit some information when you start the next day or if you can keep moving forward with the unit. Post-tests allows you to evaluate yourself as a teacher...
