QR Codes

We have been learning all about QR codes.  They are like bar codes and contain lots of information.  Mrs. Alaniz made one for our class blog.  Now, visitors to our class scan the code and quickly get the link to our blog.


But we wanted to make our own QR code. Since we have been writing poems in Writer's Workshop, we decided to write poems about locations in our school (the gym, the PE, the cafeteria, the library, the music room, the office, the teacher's lounge, the playground, and art room). We typed them on Google Apps, and  used the Neo Reader app on our iTouches to create QR codes. 

A student is scanning a QR code to make sure the right poem pulls up!

We printed the codes online, posted them around the school, and invited our fellow students to read the poems with iTouches.
We call this "Poetry in Motion". Now fellow students are scanning the codes and enjoying our poetry at the same time!
Here's one of the poems we wrote:

Playground

Whoosh, whoosh swings coming by

watch out so you don’t get kicked in the eye

my turn my turn let me on.

Cool stunt but don’t lose your grip

go,go oh no someone's hurt no more monkey bars.

Jump, jump, chase, chase

running around playing games.

Four square campfire, tag you're it.

Bounce, bounce,pass, pass shoot the three.

Kick, kick goal!

Whistle, whistle now it's over.
