Use in the classroom:
Learning Objective: Students
will analyze the impact that the Harlem Renaissance had on African American
culture and society by completing a QR scavenger hunt and creating a power
point on one aspect of the Harlem Renaissance and its impact.
Outline: I would
print out the QRs, label them, and place them around the room in different
stations. Students will go around the room the different stations and according
to the label, answer the questions on their handout, or fill out the analysis
sheets for the pieces. Students would then use that information to lead them
into their research for the power point.
1. I will incorporate augmented -learning into the classroom
by adding it to the repertoire of strategies that can be used to teach topics.
There are many ways that QRs can be used in the classroom. One way is the
scavenger hunt style lesson, where students would scan the QR to get the
information that they need. Also, on class web pages QRs can be used to give
students extra learning opportunities, or at end of notes/classwork to also
give additional information. Idea that I heard from this class, but want to
make sure I don’t forget was to use the augmented reality app to make the
textbook come alive with videos, music, additional information, maps, etc. that
students can use interactively. Students could also use this as a project,
where they would find information and attach it to QR or where they would
create their own scavenger hunt.
2. Factors that would influence the success of the project
is making sure that phones or tablets have the QR scanners and that all
students have access to a smart device. Another thing that would be important
is that the smart device is equipped with other programs to run pdfs, videos,
etc. Schools would also need to have open access to WiFi for students.
Application:
1. The design principles align with this lesson plan in that
it gives students time to learn at their own pace. Also, it gives the students
a variety of learning modalities to learn. It allows the student to learn in
different styles.
2. The principles that I feel that were applied in this
lesson is Image principle. Also the voice principle. The video is human voices
versus machine. The audio is also a live interview with the person. Another
principle is segmenting. Information is grouped and allows for the student to
pace themselves from station to station. Lastly, the modality principle is also
used. With the use of audio and video in the QRs or ARs, students are getting
more than just written word.
3. I was trying to use Modality, segmenting, and voice (when
I created the video).
Reflection:
1. Honestly, I would never have thought to use QRs in a lesson
or as a learning strategy. During conversation on ways to use it in the
classroom, I was able to see the benefit of using this in the classroom. I like
that it helps the students be independent learners as well as making
information come alive. When students are active in their learning, they are
going to remember the information, and that is what we want.
2. Things that stood out in my mind where the means that QRs
and ARs can be used in the classroom and the many different ways they can be
used. ARs was one that I thought was cool, but only for science classes, until
I heard how others have used it in Social Studies classrooms.
3. Some tensions that can be seen between the project and
the design principles is really in the fact that you are not meeting all of
them. In my lesson, there are QRs that lead to reading information. You can’t
completely get around that, nor should you. There were some videos that use
machine voice overs so that would go against the design principles. Also, a lot
of videos are very formal in their presentations. I have really enjoyed “Crash
Course” videos on Youtube because they are very energetic. You can have fun
with the information and be silly.
4. I grew this week in just learning new means of teaching.
I was really a little intimidated by the assignment at first, but as I got into
it, found it fun to do. It definitely takes time to do it, but I think that the
outcome of the lesson is well worth the effort.
