Throughout this class, I have learned so much about how
truly awesome technology is. My mind was quickly changed when I got home from
class to find my internet not working…technology was NOT awesome. Thus it
required me to write my reflection during my lunch hour today!
I felt that the QR codes that we discussed and practiced
were both fascinating and useful. It blew my mind because after class yesterday
I saw one as I was checking out of the grocery store on my receipt screen, and
another in the corner of a Super Bowl commercial last evening. I scrambled to
capture the QR code on the television, but I wasn’t quick enough. I never
thought about using QR codes on advertisements, but it makes sense. Why couldn’t
they be used on the most expensive commercial slots of the year? It also makes
sense that I would be able to include them in my classroom. I had visions of a
vocabulary activity in my classroom in which students use the QR codes for
clues about word meanings. Obviously it needs some planning, but I am excited
at the prospect of using QR codes in my English classes.
