Enjoy this scavenger hunt to use in your classroom! Is it living or nonliving?? Access it here!
Here are the answers!
For this scavenger hunt I utilized QR Code Treasure Hunt from classtools.net. This tool basically lets you create QR codes that the students can scan and when they scan them either with a phone or tablet they can read information, see a picture, or even watch a video. For this tool you have to input your answers to the generator and the computer will do all of the work for you. They also provide the answers for all the problems if somebody needs a key to do this somewhere else and it has all of the questions. The students will go around and scan it, and be learning at the same time.
The QR code activity goes with domain three of the Danielson's Framework which is instruction. When instructing students you have to constantly be keeping them engaged. When you just give a student a worksheet they will be less inclined to do it or even a study guide. It is the same monotonous procedure that is lessening their motivation level to do the work. By just putting a QR code on the sheet the student is excited to see if they got the right answer. When you do the scavenger hunt, the students are out of their seat, with a group and having fun while learning. In classrooms, the instructional technique needs to be changed every once in a while to keep them interested. Also, students who don't learn well from PowerPoint or study guides will have a chance to grasp the information by completing an interactive activity. In a classroom, teachers have to adapt their classroom to the student's needs and this will help students who also have ADHD. The scavenger hunt gets the child moving around the classroom and this gives the student's with ADHD a break from sitting still in their seat.
For my classroom, I could see myself using this tool throughout the curriculum I'd teach. Students in my future classroom will be absorbed with technology and I can't ignore that when thinking of my instruction technique. I'd like to create different spots around the room where maybe they could sign in or find the warm-up. The students could also have this on their homework at home where they scan the code to find the answer or be reminded of how to do the problem. I think this could be useful for every classroom and at home. It would help the students be more interactive in the classroom and as a college student I left with a smile on my face after completing a simple scavenger hunt with the QR codes.
