QR Challenge: Finding information

Created using the ClassTools QR Treasure Hunt Generator

Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.

2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.


B. The lesson:

1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.

2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.

3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!

Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question

Answer

1. Why do we need to cite our sources on a power point presentation?To show the audience where your information came from.
2. When completing a search on a topic, why is it important to find credible sources of information?So what you are researching is accurate and correct.
3. Why does it make sense to use databases from INFOhio and articles from Student Resources in Context rather than using a random website from a Google search?There are at least three reasons to formulate a search a subscription database: you will generate dramatically fewer result hits, making a citation will be simpler, and the resources are more credible.
4. Why is it a good idea not to put too much text on any one ppt slide?A power point is an aid to your presentation, not your presentation. It should be a guide to what you are saying.
5. Where should one put an in-text citation in a power point presentatioin?In a text box at the bottom of the slide to which it is citing.
