This week I read an interesting post on the "Technology in P.E. Geek" RSS feed. The blog was about the use of QR codes with the human skelton. The blog author had a model of the human skeleton and attached QR codes to different bones. QR codes are like barcodes you would find on things you buy at the grocery store. However these QR codes can be scanned by your smartphone and will link you to different apps or sites. Many different apps let you work with QR codes but the author recommended i-nigma. He used the app to connected the QR codes to youtube videos. Each of the QR codes represented some type of injury of the bone. So for instance if the QR code was on the talus it might take them to a youtube video about stress fractures that occur on that bone. Obviously this was for higher level learners but could be used for almost anything in the classroom. What a fun way to learn about things if students had ipads or iphones they could use. My school does have a classroom set of ipads for student use. I think it would be interesting to do this with different exercises for different body parts. I would like to incorporate this into a future lesson. Great blog!
