Blog 7 How does We All become Learners In the “How to make an audio QR Code” video, I have learned that QR Code is similar to making a tape cassette recording. When making a QR Code it is done with a computer, using two websites, and a Microsoft word document. One of the websites uses www.recordmp3.com to record your voice. Teachers can read and record themselves when reading a story book. Afterward, the teachers can play their recorded story book for the students to listen to. Once the URL is saved to the computer, it will create a new URL can be copied into the second website called qrcodemonkey.com. Qrcode-monkey.com takes the URL and generates a QR code. The QR Code can be copied and pasted into a word document. It can be used by downloading the QR scanner. The scanner is free to download and can be used with iphones and other devices. This tool is easy for students, teachers, and parents to use. They can send messages or notes to one another.

In the “ipad center” video, I have learned that having a positive reading area for students to read individually will encourage them to be better readers. In Ginger Tuck’s GSES kindergarten class, she help students individually on their reading using an ipad. The teacher sits next to the student to provide assistance if needed. The student reads a book while being recorded by the ipad. The teacher plays the video back so that the student can see and hear themselves read. The teacher listens to see if any mistakes were made by the student. Teachers should always encourage their students to do their best.

In the “Pople as a Center” video, I have learned that this is an app that can be downloaded for free to an ipad. Students are able to take pictures and type text about the book they have read. It can be saved on an ipad to be used for the future.

In the “Alabama Virtual Library as a Kindergarten Center” video, students learn how to use the library in a different way. This is another app that students can use during their visit to the library. The students’ teacher gives them a list of words to choose from, such as transportation and animals. They are able to login in and use the search engine to find pictures. The students can listen to the audio of their subject. Once the students have found pictures on their topic, they must add one sentence about what they have watched.

In the “Mrs.Tassin 2nd Grade Class” video, I learned about how the students share their boards about whales. They explain in the video how they received their information. How they used this information to complete their whales projects.
In the” Using iMovie and the Alabama Virtual Library in Kindergarten “ video, it Michelle talks about the imovie and the book trailer done by ginger Tucker. They both used some of the same tools for their projects. The students enjoy editing their projects until they are happy with them. The students were taught how to use the computers at the AVL. The students are able to go to any public library and get an Alabama Virtual Library card. They are able to find resources about topics that their teacher assigns them for research.

We all become learners.
.
We all should be excited to learn new things. Students were taught how to use a free app called the padlet on the ipad. Once the students began to work with this app, they were able to teach their fellow classmates and teacher what they have learned.
