"It's a simple way to get students to creating in your classroom and #appsmashing. I wanted to create a set of my own geared towards using the iPad to create, so I created two types of die for my set (and other sets I created and gave out to our teachers). One die has six "creation" apps, while the second die has six "showcase" apps. "
"This year at ISTE in Atlanta, I shared with teachers one easy way to add QR codes to three-dimensional shapes.
The app Foldify lets users create a template for a variety of three-dimensional shapes. Instead of drawing a picture or adding family photos, I used a QR code generator on my iPad, saved the pictures to the Camera Roll, and placed them on my Folidify creation. They are easy to assemble after your print them out and great for having students roll a dice for a mystery writing prompt or math problem."
AN AMAZING RESOURCE!!!
"I've separated my "The Best…" lists here by topics. A number of the lists, though, can fit into multiple categories, so it still might be useful to scan all of them. The Websites Of The Year page on this blog, on the other hand, has these lists in the chronological order in which they've been written. Please note that I continually update and revise all of the lists."
A review of ClassKick, an app that allows you to assign work and watch students complete it in real time. Plus, give feedback, make corrections, award stickers or points. Very cool and fun!
QR codes are beginning to gain ground in the UK so I've decided to write an article covering the brief history of barcodes and the lead up to the introduction of QR Codes to give you an understanding of the technology. I've been in IT for 20 years and, as with most technically orientated people, I tend to fall into the 'techie' trap when writing articles explaining technology. The article normally ends up reading like a technical manual for NASA's space shuttle so I've made a conscious effort to stick to layman's terms to make the article clear for a wide audience.
