Using QR Codes to Engage Children with Learning/teaching approach

This lesson idea uses technology to promote active learning⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 discussion⁽ⁱ⁾ involving the whole class⁽ⁱ⁾. Group talk⁽ⁱ⁾ was also employed as a strategy, with the children agreeing on a narrative⁽ⁱ⁾ outline relating to the event. The creation of the online materials encouraged development of e-skills⁽ⁱ⁾.

The later stages of this series of lessons, where the children were looking for clues, required them to ask questions⁽ⁱ⁾ and to take a collaborative⁽ⁱ⁾ approach to find a solution, based on the digital texts they found.
