QR Code Ideas - FABULOUS:)!!!

   Alright - here they are - I LOVE THESE IDEAS!!!  I have started to compile a list of ideas that can be used IMMEDIATELY into ANY classroom:)!! I will post that in my next blog post.   However - I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of using QR codes for POSTERS!!!  Any poster that you could or would hang in your classroom - tack a QR code to it for more information, a video, a podcast, ANYTHING!!!  Take a peek at these AMAZING ones first that I found on the website QR Codes for Education! 
 
   How cool is this cell one?  Not only will you learn about the parts of the cell with the diagram and labels, but each part of the cell has a QR code attached to it to learn more about each part and the function of it!!

      Really?  I WISH I MADE THIS ONE!!!  Each QR code is a video link to a YouTube video about the elements listed on the periodic table - LOVE IT:)!!

      While learning about the states, what better way to learn state capitals, state flags, birds, and other much needed information then to attach a QR code on a map of the United States.

    Why not incorporate QR codes into a novel unit that you are studying like they did with this one?  Link to book reviews, video trailers, assignments, about the author pages and SO many others great things on the web.

     Timelines are always a great way to learn information about people or events in history - why not spice them up a little bit with QR codes and make students research and find the main events and information that is most important?
    I KNOW that your minds are just spinning like mine is now!  SO GREAT and SO INNOVATIVE and SO COOL!!!  If you have some great ones - let me know and I will add them here!

Happy rest of your Snow Day-
Mrs. I:)

Chirp App for iPhone/iPad

    Alright, Mrs. Askegaard and some other teachers attended a math workshop yesterday on math apps and a little app called Chirp was presented and shared!   She stopped in today and talked to me a little bit about it so of course I had to download it and play!   THANK YOU MRS. ASKEGAARD FOR SHARING LOVE IT:)!!!  This little app might be my new favorite (sorry QR codes)!  What this app does is allow you to share photos, notes (that you type on the spot, not existing ones), and links via a "chirp" to anyone else that has the Chirp app open and is on the same Wi-Fi network.  The app works via sound waves, so it will actually chirp like a bird when it has sent and received a new message, photo or note.  SO COOL!!!  Best part as usual - FREE:)!!!  Now, I clearly need to do some more research with this, and check for safety, etc.. but I can see SO many ways that this would be a HUGE benefit in a classroom with students; collaborative pr...

Starfall Website......

  I am not sure if I have shared this website with you, but our Kindergarteners are ROCKING IT OUT!  The site is Starfall and it has SO much great content on here.  Below is a list of content for the little ones:    The kiddos today were working on the Learn to Read section.  They had to listen to words, add beginning and ending sounds, and read stories and click and find things as they went.  They were TOTALLY engaged!  They even had a checklist to do once sections were completed to track their progress.    A SUPER fun one for the kiddos is preK-1st grade I would say FOR SURE:)! Bad news - NO iPad as it's flash based:(  - but still PLEASE CHECK IT OUT Happy Monday and night, Mrs. I:)

CodeHS - Great Site for High School Students

We have been looking for something in regards to coding for our senior high school students.  They have been having fun playing with the Sphero and the Dash and Dot , but they are a little old for this so to say.  Through my research, I came across a site called CodeHS .  THIS IS AMAZING:)!!!  Once you sign up, you are taken through a series of courses where you actually code.  You type in the commands and functions, trying to walk Karel, the dog, through various tasks.  Each section features a video explaining what you'll learn, a quiz to review, and then you step in and use what you learned to code Karel.  This seems like a really good fit for some of our kids.  We have two that are going into Computer Science, and this seems like a perfect stepping stone as it introduces HTML , Javascript and Python as they are also areas they will learn:). AND the best part - it's DONE FOR YOU and IT'S FREE!! Of COURSE you can pay for more, but i...
