Have you considered using QR codes as a way of integrating technology into your instruction? Most of your students have phones that can be used to quickly scan codes that you create.
Here are the resources that I use for QR codes:
3) Bitly App
This free app will shorten your lengthy URL addresses before creating a QR code. It is not a required step---simply an option.
That is all that it takes. It is a very simple process. Now that you know the steps, here is why we should all use QR codes in our classrooms.
Here are the new resources that I received this past week. There are some great ones!
I know this fits social studies, but I think it could also tie well into the mock trial being done in 8th grade English.
This issue covers recycling. There was one article that actually blew my mind. A science teacher has got to check this one out!
This one is screaming for 8th grade social studies.
There is a little something for everyone in this one. It definitely covers science topics, but it could also tie into 7th grade social studies or English because of its great connection to mythology.
For this second week of November, the library is thankful for technology (especially when it works correctly).
We all know that technology isn't perfect. It takes time and patience to properly integrate it into our lessons. Don't let one bad experience prevent you from trying it again. Every lesson that I've ever done requiring technology has always had a problem or two. Because of perseverance, I learned right along with my students.
