How can this tool be used?? For my first try at using this in my classroom, I asked several of my students to record themselves reading. Once we created the QR code, it was taped to the front of the book cover and placed in the listening center. Now during centers, students can choose a book with a code, scan the code, and listen to a friend read to them. So far they love it! And talk about adding to their motivation to read... now even struggling readers are practicing a book to record for the center. Check out an example below.
Could you see yourself using this tool? Here's a few ideas I've thought of...
- Record yourself giving extra directions or background information for homework or assignments
- Record a reading of a textbook chapter in any subject for struggling readers
- Upload (yes you can also upload any file including songs) a file that students need to listen to activate prior knowledge
- Voice message to parents on a school or class newsletter
- Voice introduction on a blog or website
- Record yourself or students reading sight words and attach to flashcards/word walls
- Support for ELL students
- Record students reading a research paper they have written and add the code to the display of the paper
- Science Fair poster pictures could be enhanced by a QR code student explanation
- Record students giving a book review that entices others to read (Thank you Mrs. Larrick! :) )
Feel free to leave a comment with an idea you have for this tool! :)
