Creating Posters for the Classroom

Creating Posters using Powerpoint

Description of tool:

I have used Powerpoint for presentations, but never for anything else until recently. I just learned how to use Powerpoint to create posters. You can create a poster of any size, and put anything you want on it. You just create a slide like you normally would in Powerpoint, but choose poster when you print it. You then put the poster together and you have a poster you made. It takes as much as you want it to. It all depends on how much you want to put into your slide. The poster will print out on anywhere from two pages to more depending on the size of the poster. Depending on the printer you choose, the poster can be in color or black-and-white. If you know how to use Powerpoint, you can learn how to print a poster.

Pedagogical uses:

The uses for posters are endless. I just created three different posters for my classroom. I have multiplication strategies on one poster and division posters on another. The third poster, I created a checklist for students before they hand in their assignment. Anything you want your students to see can be put on a poster. Since the poster is created in Powerpoint, you can put pictures of any type onto the slide, so you can create posters for any subject you want. 

Students can be taught how to create a slide for any project you want them to complete. The students could then print out the posters and present them to their classmates. They wouldn't have to print them out, however, They could just share the slide if you would like to go paperless. Students could present any number of things from Science concepts to a book they just read.

Multiplication strategies poster

Cost of tool:

The only cost associated with the tool is having Microsoft Powerpoint on your computer and access to a printer if you want to print off the poster. I also had to have tape to tape together the posters. As you can see I have QR codes on my poster, so I would need access to a QR reader. The QR codes go to different websites where students can practice the strategies. 

Why you want to learn this tool:

I just found a new, cost efficient way to create posters. Any concept I want to show my students in a larger format I can. Creating posters using Powerpoint is easy and fun to do. Students can create their own posters and it doesn't take a long time to create. Also, you can add pictures and QR codes to the poster, which makes the poster interactive. Once students know how to create posters, the possibilities of what they can do with the knowledge is endless. 

As a teacher, you may see that your students need to see a better visual of a concept. You can put it on a poster using Powerpoint. You can then print it off and have it at a station or in a location for students to look at it. Posters can be colorful or black and white. Again, they are easy to make and can add information to your classroom.

QR Codes

QR Codes

Description of tool:

QR codes are similar to a bar code that you scan with a QR reader. You can access QR readers on your cell phone or tablets. You must have a QR reader in order to use QR codes. QR codes can be made with a QR generator. When you scan a QR code with a reader, the code takes you to a website you can access on your phone or tablet. QR codes make it possible to visit websites without having to type in the web address. The QR code takes you directly to the website. It makes it easier for students to visit websites. It saves them time and energy because they won't waste half the class trying to type in a website address. QR codes are really easy to make if you use a QR generator. I use goo.gl URL shortener. I used it as an extension on Google Chrome. All I have to do is click the shortener for the website page I am on. The goo.gl shortener gives me a shortened web address as well as a QR code. I just copy and paste the QR code into whatever document I want the students to use for the codes.

12 Ways to Use QR Codes in the Classroom

49 Ways to Use QR Codes

I personally will use QR codes for my students to have a quick way to get to a website. My students will also be generating QR codes for reports and to share their sources. It will take a lot less time for my students to get started on a webquest if they can use Ipads to scan QR codes. Students will think its fun that they get to use Ipads to do worksheets! However, my students will scanning the QR code for the worksheet and then doing the work on a whiteboard. QR codes can allow you to go paperless in your classroom if so choose. 

My favorite thing about QR codes is how easy they are to scan and how it saves you time typing in a website. 

QR codes are accessible everywhere. There are businesses that have started to put QR codes on their products. Students could go on a QR scavenger hunt to see how many QR codes they can find in their everyday lives. 

Plus, QR codes are a fun way to implement technology into a classroom setting. There are a lot of resources on the internet with QR codes already generated.

Location of the tool:

The QR code generator I used is an extension of Google Chrome. You can find the extension in the Chrome store at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon. If you look online, there are numerous websites that will create QR codes for you. You just have to find the right one that works for you. As for QR readers, you can find them in the app store. Again, you have to find the right QR reader that works for you. Some readers save where you have been, others do not.

Why you want to learn this tool:

QR codes are easy to generate and they will save your students time. Students can use an Ipad or phone to snap the QR code instead of taking the time to type in the website. QR codes are a great way for students to share information with you or each other. They do not take a long time to generate and they are fun to use. Plus, if you get the right QR reader, the reader will save the QR codes you have snapped so you don't have to write down websites you have visited. QR codes are a great way to incorporate technology into your classroom and a great way to use less paper in the classroom.

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality

Description of the tool:

Augmented reality tools help users create images using a code. You can see a 3D image that you can't see without the Ipad or computer. If you put the image in front of the camera, you will see an image. Sometimes the image has motion, sometimes you just see a three-dimensional image. Students can use the augmented reality to see images in action that they would not normally see without the augmented reality. Plus, augmented reality is super cool. I showed this to my mom and she was amazed. 

Pedagogical uses:

The uses for augmented reality apps are endless. Students can create any image and make it come to life using an augmented reality app. Students can use augmented reality for any subject. In one of the stories my students read in their reading textbook, they talk about Mount Everest. The Guinness Book of World Records 2014 has an augmented reality that you can see Mount Everest from the top of the summit. Students have the chance to look around the mountain; something they probably won't do in real life. The app Anatomy 4D is able to show students the heart and the human body using augmented reality. Guinness Books of World Records also has apps for 2013, 2014, and 2015. You just need to have the book physically in front of you. Spacecraft 3D gives you the capability to go to Mars, Earth, Planetary, or other. You chose the marker from http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/apps/images/3dtarget.pdf and it is completely free to use.

Example of augmented reality using Aurasma 

Example of augmented reality using Aurasma

Location of the tool:

All the tools I used except ZooBurst are found on the Apple app store. I used Aurasma to do the augmented reality of the man in the picture. ZooBurst can be found at http://www.zooburst.com/index.php. The augmented reality apps I have currently in my augmented reality toolbox are Augment, Layar, SnapShop, Aurasma, Blippar,Anatomy 4D, GWR (Guinness World Records) 2013, GWR 2014, GWR 2015, Spacecraft 3D, and ARBasketball. 

SnapShop lets you see what different furniture looks like in different rooms of your home. You take a picture with the furniture and it saves in your camera roll. ARBasketball is a game you can play using a AR marker. You put your camera or Ipad over the maker and try to make as many baskets as you can. Spacecraft 3D requires markers you can get from www.jpl.nasa.gov. Anatomy 4D also requires markers you can download to your email or photos and print them off. 

Cost of the tool:

The apps I used have no cost. However, there are apps that cost money to use. For example, there is a human body app that costs about five dollars to download. If you look on the app store for Apple, there are a lot of free augmented reality to use. 

Why you want to learn this tool:

Augmented reality is really cool. You can use this for your personal use or for fun in your classroom. Augmented reality allows you and your students to see things you might not see in real life. Plus, augmented reality apps bring normal pictures to life. When students can see everyday objects in a different way, it will expand their learning and make learning more fun.

Stop Frame Animators

Stop Motion Films

Description of tool:

Stop motion is where you move objects and take a picture of the object. You then move the object again and take another picture. When you put the pictures all together, it appears that the object has moved. The frames are saved into a movie format. Depending on the program you use, you can add voice and music. 

 There are many stop motion apps you can use. I am going to use Stop Motion and OSnap! on the Ipad. Students in my school have done stop motion using Ipads as well. The sixth grade class in my school did a stop motion of winter events. The students had to create the objects as well as do all the pictures. 

Pedagogical use:

The uses for stop motion are endless. Students can create stop motions for every subject they learn about. Students can also choose numerous objects to make move. Students will learn patience as they have to move the object little by little and take a picture each time. 

You can create stop motions to demonstrate a concept to your students. For example, to demonstrate the seasons, you can create a stop motion that shows the motion of the sun. You could also demonstrate the path that the sun takes in the sky by using stop motion.

I personally like the idea of having students create stop motions to demonstrate an event in history or a science concept.

Example of stop motion using Stop Motion app

Location of tool:

OSnap! and Stop Motion can be found on the Itunes app store. If you research other stop motions using the Internet, you should be able to find a lot of them.

Cost associated with tool:

OSnap! has the option to add a toolbox for 4.99. However, it is free to use the basic tools. Stop Motion is free to use. You can add music and voice for free. You need to have the music on your Ipad because Stop Motion does not provide music for you to use.

Why you want to learn this tool:

Stop motion videos are a lot of fun to make. Your students would LOVE being able to be creative and create their own stop motion videos. The videos do take time to do; a quality stop motion could take days or week. However, stop motions are a great way for students to apply their knowledge. 

I intend on using stop motions this year in my classroom. As I was creating my own stop motions, I had a lot of ideas that I could do in my classroom running through my head. Most of my new science standards could be assessed using stop motions. Students can retell the story they read using stop motions. Students can also show how to do their math problems using stop motion. My students love taking pictures; students can use the ability to take pictures for something educational using stop motions.
