QR Codes in Education: What are they? How do they connect with learning, classrooms, and schools?
===What value does a QR (or Quick Response Code) code have for learning? Last year, one student at Trinity School “turned lost into found” with his prototype for re-imagining the School’s Lost and Found system (and then shared his idea at the TEDxKIDS@BC event in British Columbia). This year, four sixth graders at Trinity were tasked to take the prototype (which uses QR codes to identify and notify students of their lost uniform items) one step further. During this elective class, these sixth graders explored whether or not QR codes were a value-add in education...at Trinity and beyond. Their discoveries and observations will interest you! During this session, participants will learn about QR codes, discover how QR codes connect to learning, and brainstorm how they might be used in classrooms and in schools. ===
