I can definitely use the QR codes, but I don't have a smart board. A game like this would not be as fun without the interaction of the smart board.

The technology used was interesting and interactive, but the best part of the lesson was Mrs. Sig... What a fantastic teacher that is so much fun to watch as she interacted with the students and tried to stimulate interest in the topic:) She clearly loves her job and made me miss teaching 3rd graders for the first time in 12 years. Awesome job!
