ECOMP 7010: Final Project

Directions: You will choose one current, or emerging technology, or Internet resource, and incorporate it into a lesson using a constructivist approach. Your final project needs to include the following:

1. A brief statement of your goal for this lesson.
2. A description of your school setting as it relates to your lesson, including curriculum requirements, technology access, the number of students involved and anything about your students that would be relevant.
3. Three of the standards (state or national) the lesson will address.
4. A description of the existing lesson, or proposed lesson, that you’ll be infusing additional technology into, including goals, time frame, class groupings, technology used.
5. The questions you will pose to your students and the tasks you will ask them to do. This is the most important part of your project and will demonstrate your creativity and imagination.  You will reference the specific use of the technology or Internet resource, and how your students will do their information gathering, research and problem solving.  Include annotated links where needed to cite resources.
6. A sample project.  This will be created by you, and will serve as a model for your students.  The link to the project, or the attached document, must be included in your project.
7. Include at least 2 screen shots or other images. Annotated references should be listed at the end.

Student Exemplars: 4 Ways to Link QR Codes

ECOMP 7010: QR Codes

Directions: Provide an example of something that inspires you to connect it to QR Codes. Then, describe how you would use the QR code in this situation. Finally, create your own QR Code and upload it along with a description of how you would use it in the classroom.

From The Noun Project

1. Inspiration:  Slide #13 - QR codes in airports


2. How I would use the QR Code: When I saw slide 13 I thought about how helpful a QR code could be if it could relay information to a traveler audibly and in their language. Enter QR Voice, which allows you to connect short phrases to the QR code so that when scanned will speak the phrase. The site is not a translator, so if you want the code to say something in Spanish, for example, you would need to provide the Spanish translation. However, selecting Spanish as the language will have the phrase spoken with a Spanish accent and attempts to use proper inflection. The site lists 40 language accents to choose from, and can accomodate up to 96 characters (if my counting is correct). I see this tool playing a valuable role in foreign language classes to help students connect vocabulary and phrases in written form with how they sound when spoken. Having these codes up in important places could also help ELL students who are working on their English language skills.
