Portfolio & QR codes

As I reflect on my second Tech for Educators course I realize how little I know about today's technology. Making the portfolio of google sites wasn't super complicated but it would have been easier if I wasn't on the Ipad. It really interested me how to form my own website. I could use this in my everyday classes & have the students build websites that have to do with the topic we are researching. I found QR codes very interesting as well. The scavenger hunt made learning about QR codes fun. I always pondered what that silly looking bar code like thing is. Now I know that there are many uses for QR codes. I could make a business card for my future career & use a QR code on it. I am excited to make an activity for my students using QR codes.

  1. I also found the portfolio making a little bit stressful and hectic! I think doing it on the ipad also made it a little bit harder than it would have been on the computer. Nevertheless, yours still turned out fab!!

    I also thought that the QR code scavenger hunt was a fun way to learn about them. I am excited to use them in mynclassroom too!!

  3. It is hard to step out of our comfort zones and use the ipads but persevere and it will get easier. You are off to a great start with your portfolio. I am looking forward to seeing some great QR code projects.
