QR Code Activities


What you see above is a QR code. You all already know of this I'm sure, as they have become quite popular in the recent decade or so. You will find them on all sorts of places such as packages, advertisements, notices, essentially everywhere you can clearly see and where they want it to be seen. Their purposes can be for all sorts of stuff as always. When you see one on a package, it's usually for a contest where you can win stuff. If its on a notice, its probably going to lead you into an information website about whatever it is trying to grab attention for, or it could lead you into a volunteering form for an event.

The QR code in the picture is one I made for this post. It leads to my game profile because I wanted to post this as an example, but regardless of what I made we can talk about the appliances of QR code into education.

One simple and probably already commonly known idea is to use QR codes to lead students into links and websites the teacher wants them to visit. This could be an educational website about a topic, or it could lead into a file containing a book, an article and so on. Aside from this, I'm not sure what else can be done but it is indeed very promising. I'm really not familiar with QR codes as I rarely even use them at all, I dont even remember the last time I used one(lol).

                        Greetings everyone. For the first video of my blog, I bring you a video about one of the most common questions language learners constantly ask: "What is the easiest or effective way of learning a language?"                          In this video, I explain to you what essentially every language teacher or even regular people tell you to do, which is to experience the language . By experience the language I mean that you should be in an environment that speaks your target language, which is English for this video. In the modern age of today, with the widespread of electronic devices and internet, you can easily and freely talk to anyone. What I suggest, from my personal experience, is to get yourself some video games. There are many free online games, but if you're already interested you can buy some that interest you. Nearly every game is based on English unless you are in a different region that is dominated by a different language. By play

https://www.thinglink.com/scene/1189481867481448450 Hello everyone. Today I created a small Thinglink which you can access from the link above this text. If you examine the picture, you'll notice red circles around some tiny circles of pluses and a music note. These are the specialty of Thinglink. If you hover your mouse over these small icons, you will encounter some pop-ups on the picture containing various stuff, ranging from texts to videos to links to gifs and pictures. In my Thinglink, I used a picture of a video game character called Nami, and put up three of those. One of them gives a very brief abstract of her biography, another bubble gives information about her ingame abilities. The music note opens a youtube link to the music of our Nami. Since our new generation of learners are technologically native, research and feedbacks has been showing about how children love interactive items. Thinglink created a perfect tool to utilize this, as you can make various ty

Hello everyone. Today I tried to use Canva but failed horribly, but failure is the first step to success! Despite me not performing good enough I can personally see the potential this tool has for teachers and students. As far as I can see it you are able to create presentation type stuff to show. As a teacher, you can use this in a variety of ways in the class, but I personally have an idea that should be especially great for young learners. You can create a colorful page full of the achievements of your students, or a group photo of them to boost their morale and their will to learn.
