What’s Black and White and Promotes Collaboration? Discover how QR codes bring down classroom walls

You see them everywhere, on advertisements, menus, contact information and now even in your classroom. Participate in this discussion to learn how QR codes can engage and facilitate 21st Century Learning with your students. From collaborative activities within the classroom, to partnering with global organizations and experts, QR codes open the walls of any classroom to a world full of possibilities. QR codes will be defined and participants will learn how to create their own. We will examine and explore the different uses of QR codes across curricular areas, specifically as they apply to collaborative activities between students.

Thanks for your submission to present at the 2011 Global Education Conference. Your proposal looks promising, but could benefit from some additional language that ties your work to the conference theme of global collaboration. There is not a clear link to global/international education and your proposal is focused on a singular tool or content area with no global context. Your proposed session may imply global collaborations and connections, but we need to see more explanation of how your work ties into our mission. The conference seeks to present ideas, examples and initiatives related to connecting educators and classrooms around the world with an emphasis on promoting global awareness and instilling global competency in students. This is not a general education conference nor a technology conference. Please review your submission and adjust accordingly, so that participants clearly understand how your work fits into the mission of the conference.
