Abstract: "In this paper, students provide insight into their
use of Quick Response (QR) codes and mobile
devices to assist in mathematics homework efforts.
These QR codes were directly linked to instructional
videos related to their unit on fraction algorithms
and were hosted on YouTube. In particular, through
focus-group interviews, the students identified many
strengths associated with the implementation of this
research. The strengths include the manner in which
the YouTube clips of currently accepted instructional
strategies worked to reinforce their classroom
learning, how the mobile devices motivated students
to complete homework in a variety of non-traditional
settings, increased their communication with their
classroom teacher, and how these devices engaged
parents and siblings in the learning process."
