View source for Using QR Codes to Engage Children with Learning/teaching approach

This lesson idea uses technology to promote {{teachtag|active learning}} as resources were produced to be located and explored in a public park. The early stage of the activity, involving the creation of the resources by the children, required {{teachtag|discussion}} involving the {{teachtag|whole class}}. {{teachtag|Group talk}} was also employed as a strategy, with the children agreeing on a {{teachtag|narrative}} outline relating to the event. The creation of the online materials encouraged development of {{topictag|e-skills}}.

The later stages of activity, where the children were looking for clues, required them to ask {{teachtag|questioning|questions}} and to take a {{tooltag|collaborative}} approach to find a solution, based on the digital texts they found.
