How to Extend an Activity?




                       (Fang)
Classroom Example
• Group students to create a poster project on a
  content area subject (ie: planets). Each group
  embeds a QR code with additional information
  that was compiled on web site, an extension of
  the poster project. Students then circulate
  around the room and scan QR code to learn
  about the other projects.
Classroom Example
• Students track and organize classroom
  assignments and information using
  productivity applications. This reduces
  confusion, late assignments, and use of
  paper.
Into the Future
• Technology is not going away, students, teachers,
  and administration will have to work together to
  implement it to provide better and innovative
  learning opportunities.
