24. How to use Geograffiti in the K-12 classroom:
1) Center Time (K-3)
Students can work on fluency, oral presentation skills, reading, creating
an argument, reasoning, inquiry, questioning, by calling in to
Geograffiti.
2) Homework, Field Trips, Spring Break
Students can work with their parents over spring break or summer break
and leave voicemarks about their experiences, vacations, and what
they learned over the break. Students on a field trip could record their
observations (such as a trip to the zoo or a science museum).
3) Language Study
Students learning a new language can call in voicemarks and practice
their new language skills
25. 4) Social Studies
Students can ask others (friends and family) to call in from different parts
of the country to give their perspective on local, national, and
international social and cultural issues.
5) Oral Histories
Students could document oral or local histories by conducting interviews
that would be placed on the map.
6) Real time Math
Students could call in to Geograffiti when they recognize that they are
doing algebra, geometry or physics in their real life, they could
describe the situation and put it into mathematical terms.

44. QR Codes in the Classroom !
QR Code Gallery - Fill your classroom with pictures, maps, political cartoons,
portraits and works of art, all with tiny QR Codes that point to video, websites,
speeches...
QR Code Textbook - The teacher or students could create a virtual textbook by
creating content (blogs, websites) or pointing the QR Code to existing content that
would enrich the static material on paper. This has become my project over winter
break. I am going to create a supplemental textbook with the name of the topic and
four QR Codes on each page.
QR Code Homework: Have students submit homework through a QR Code. They
could complete the homework on a google doc, publish the doc and then embed the
URL in the QR Code.
QR Code Test: Questions on a test can be QR Codes, that when scanned point to
questions, that can then be answered on the test. This method could eliminate cheat
45. QR Codes in the Classroom !
• include them in a printed worksheet (for homework or on an exam).
• use small QR code labels in a lab – print them on ready-to-peel labels or tape them
onto basic lab equipment (microscopes, glassware, sensors, binoculars, cabinets or
drawers). The codes would would lead students to teaching videos or amplified safety
information.
• QR codes printed on labels could be applied to bones or preserved specimens to
lead students to further information or investigation.
• Perhaps assign students the project of creating these QR codes for your lab supplies
and equipment?
• Use QR codes in an assessment – they go to the pre-determined site, watch a video
or an animation, then answer questions about it.
• Use them for orienteering in an outdoor education course or on a field trip.
• Maybe have them printed on t-shirts as end of the year prizes? Put them on business
cards, luggage tags or make temporary tatoos out of them!
