QR Codes and Booktalks!

During a mini session with Alice Ozma we learned how to incorporate interactive book talks into our classrooms using the ever popular QR codes! This inspiring session reached out to students who can take too long to find a book to read or for students that like to return a book after very little page turning. With book talks, students can listen to two-to-three minute presentations their peers have given on books they've read. After listening, students will know why others enjoyed it and will have a clearer idea if the book is something they are interested in. Ms. Ozma explained how easy and painless the process is to begin shooting and uploading videos for student book talks. She also explained how to link videos to QR codes and informed teachers of the many places QR codes can be placed. We cannot wait to begin inspiring our students with 21st century book talks!
