Grade 1, QR Codes & Research

Online research with Grade 1 students is tricky! To learn more about landmarks in Alberta, a couple of our grade 1 classes decided to create their own website and then use iPads to link to certain pages.

The task the students had was to find out more about their chosen landmark. Once chosen they would get an iPad, connect to the internet, and then use QRafter scanner to scan the poster for their landmark. Once at the website they would write two facts about that landmark.

 

 

Once their facts are written we will then create postcards in Comic Life to print out or send home to their parents.
