QR codes and mini URL
Elizabeth Ashley
Why QR?
Using QR codes:
• Allows me to direct students quickly to specific websites for research tasks.
• I have control over the quality, relevance and complexity of the content
they are accessing.
• Minimises issues with students with low reading/writing levels
• Masks the source (sometimes beneficial)
The problem:
• QR codes can be difficult to scan from some of the projectors
• Some students do not have devices with cameras on them
The solution? Quickly double up!
• Use a combination of QR and mini URL.
The benefits of mini URL:
• Much shorter so easier to type in (students are significantly less likely
to make an error in the URL)
• Minimises time spent getting to the website (therefore maximising
learning time)
• Allows ALL STUDENTS to access resources.
So what does this look like, and how do you do it?
Label the digestive system and identify the
enzymes that work in it.
• Include all the words in the key word bank on your page.
• Include ‘equations’ showing the effect of different enzymes.
