WOW Wednesday – Megan Porter

WOW Wednesday – Megan Porter

     On Wednesdays I highlight some of our amazing MVSD staff on our social media pages. Everyday our staff are using tech in new and exciting ways, are learning new skills, and are sharing ways in which ed tech is assisting them in their practice.

Megan Porter, who teaches Gr 3/4 at Gilbert Plains Elementary (GPES), reached out this week to share her classes’ recent adventure: QR codes! QR codes are an accessible way for students to document their learning experiences and then share them with their families and friends outside of the classroom as the end-user does not need a specific app or log-in, just a camera and a smart device.

Megan started off by creating QR codes her students could share and students are now working towards creating and sharing their own codes as a means of documenting their learning for classroom projects. You can follow along with Megan’s class on Instagram under 4th With Mrs. Porter

For an introduction to QR Codes you can check out the QR Codes 101 video from YouTube below:
