Create a QR Code Hunt

1. Choose a topic: Life Science
2. Identify the standards and write objectives:
1a: articulate and set personal learning goals, develop strategies
leveraging technology to achieve them and reflect on the
learning process itself to improve learning outcomes
1c: use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves
their practice and to demonstrate their learning in a variety of
ways
1d: understand the fundamental concepts of technology
operations, demonstrate the ability to choose, use and
troubleshoot current technologies and are able to transfer their
knowledge to explore emerging technologies
2b: engage in positive, safe, legal and ethical behavior when
using technology, including social interactions online or when
using networked devices
4d: exhibit a tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance and the
capacity to work with open-ended problems
Our objectives of this activity are for student to be able to
responsibly use technology to work in groups to answer
questions and demonstrate not only their knowledge of
technology, but also that of science. Students are expected to
know the rights and wrongs when it comes to using the
technology devices provided and will use the devices for their
intended purposes. After completing the activity, students will
post a reflection piece onto our LMS for everyone to see. This will
allow us as a class to decide what went well and how we can
improve the activity for next time.
3. Determine how you want students to proceed through the QR code
hunt and what they are to do with the information or what they are to
do at each clue. Describe your method here:
Students will form their own groups of 3 students. One iPod will
be provided for each group to use as they go around searching
for the questions. To get the students to be a little more active
and make the activity more fun, I will post the QR codes around
the school- outside and inside the building. The students will be
given a print out of the questions they are to answer. Students
will work together to come up with the correct answer to each of
the questions before scanning the code. After all of the questions

have been answered, students will return to the classroom where

they will individually write a refection on the activity containing
what went well, what they liked about the activity, and how they
think the activity could be improved. These reflections will be
typed and posted onto our LMS page so we can view them as a
class.
