"One instance of how I have used QR codes in the classroom is by the use of "Clever badges." Each student has a Clever badge which is a square of paper that has a QR code with all of their login information for their Chromebook. All they have to do is show the camera their Clever badge and it scans the QR code." - (M3 assignment)

Plickers

"Another instance of how I have used QR codes in the classroom is by using Plickers. This is a form of assessment where each student is given a sheet of paper with a Plicker printed onto it. It looks different for each student. Based on which way they hold their paper, it scans as multiple choice options A, B, C, or D. The teacher can scan the whole class' answers at once with their smartphone." - (M3 Assignment)

Nearpod is a great learning tool for students because it is so easy to use! "I personally have used NearPod in a lesson plan I taught and have pulled up pre-made NearPods to do as a class while I substituted in the past. One way you can use NearPod to engage learners is by the "gamification" method of learning that NearPod offers. There are games such as Matching Pairs, Draw It, and Drag & Drop." - (M2 Assignment)

"Another way you can use NearPod to engage learners is by allowing students to annotate each slide as you go through them. Allow students to take control of their learning and they will be engaged." - (M2 Assignment)

You could use Google Slides to engage learners is by including games in your slides. Games such as Family Feud, Jeopardy, and Deal or No Deal can be included in your slides. As a former elementary student, I have great memories with playing class games on the SmartBoard such as the ones listed above.

Ideas for Interactive Google Slides

"One way that you could use Google Slides to engage learners is by creating drag & drop activities in your slides. Having drag & drop activities allow students to interact with technology and younger students LOVE coming up to the SmartBoard to complete activities." - (M2 Assignment)
