A presentation given to my colleagues at CCBEU Franca. I really wanted to share the news on Educational Technology I learned during the BrazTesol Technology Seminar on July 17-18 in São Paulo.

1. Educational Technology
Back-to-work-week
July 2015

2. First things first

3. Careful!
• It’s not that I know more...I just happen to know
before.
• Sharing is caring.
• Once you learn something, become multipliers.

4. Tech Integration
• What kind of technology do you already use with
your students?
• Go to : https://todaysmeet.com/EdTechCCBEU
• How comfortable are you with “new”
technology?
• Can you do more / better?

5. Who are we?
• Define a teacher.
• Define teaching.
• Share your views on TodaysMeet.
• Stand up
• Grab your mobile devices
• Read the QR codes around the room

6. QR code...

7. • A QR code (quick response code) is a type of 2D bar
code that is used to provide easy access to information
through a smartphone or other mobile devices (tablets).
• Here are a few examples of QR codes in current
use:
• QR codes on business cards link to the individual's full
resume or website.
• A Starbucks promotion featured a QR code-enabled
scavenger hunt involving hints accessed through
QR codes in the stores.
• Quiring Monuments in Seattle puts QR code on
gravestones to connects people to an online obituary or a
website about the deceased.
• In Florida, the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife
Refuge puts QR codes on signs to connect people to
informational videos about wildlife along the trails.

8. How can we do it?

11. To create your QR codes
• Go to: QR codes GENERATOR: www.goqr.me
• How can teachers use QR Codes?
• Create a series of QR and attach them to physical
objects in or outside the classroom as part of a
treasure hunt. Each code can supply a clue
and a link to further information, which the
students need to collect to complete the treasure
hunt.

12. • Students research a topic and present their
findings in posters displayed on the classroom
walls. They create and include QR codes in their
posters, which link to online multimedia
resources connected to the project topic (low-tech
multimedia poster presentations).
• Include QR codes in published books, journals or
on paper handouts, which link to further
resources.
• Of course it’s also a good idea to include the link
in full for those without a QR reader.

13. Look at this

14. Problems with coursebooks?
• Teachers MUST co-author the coursebooks.
• Make them relevant to your students.
• Turn any book conversation into something
more appealing.
• To create “fake” phone conversations, go to:

• Be creative!

15. So...
• That's it 4 2day.
• f U nEd NE help, jst TLK 2 me l8r. thk U all!
• What is that???
• Another tool for another presentation.
