South Shades Crest's QR Enhanced Curriculum Night
South Shades Crest's Curriculum Night last Thursday was a hit!
- Ahmad Austin, the art teacher, had each child in the school choose their favorite piece of art to display around the school. Each child then videotaped themselves in Seesaw explaining why it was their favorite piece and why. Ahmad then printed off a QR code for the videos and attached it to their artwork throughout the building.
- Karen Miles, a kindergarten teacher, had students create riddles for animals. The students then recorded the answers in Seesaw. The parents and visitors scanned an attached QR code to the clues to hear the answer.
- Ms. Dickie's class created green screen videos with information on national symbols they researched. Parents could scan the QR code to hear their research.
- Third grade completed a unit on roller coaster design using the design thinking process. The students planned and created prototypes in groups. The students also video taped in Seesaw their trials and how they solved problems they came across. QR codes were printed and attached to the roller coasters.
