QR Code

 What is a QR Code ?

"So you may have heard that QR Codes are set to become the 'next big thing' but thinking to yourself, what is a QR Code!? QR or Quick Response Codes are a type of two-dimensional barcode that can be read using smartphones and dedicated QR reading devices, that link directly to text, emails, websites, phone numbers and more! You may have even got to this site by scanning a QR code!
QR codes are huge in Japan and across the East, and are slowly beginning to become commonplace in the West. Soon enough you will see QR codes on product packaging, shop displays, printed and billboard advertisements as well as in emails and on websites. The scope of use for QR codes really is huge, particularly for the marketing and advertising of products, brands, services and anything else you can think of. "

Glogster

Glogster is a perfect tool for the teachers who work with little children. Doing homework had never been so fun !The only downside is that the tool is not for free. The trial version lasts only 7 days and then if you want to keep using , you will have to pay.

In order to test the tool I created a glog and would like to share it over here.

An alternative platform to glogster could be NewHive. Unlike Glogster it is free so you don't need to pay for it if you want to keep using.

Tellagami

  Tellagami is a mobile app where people can create avatars and animate them.Although it was thought off as an entertainment tool, Tellagami can be a very useful tool for education, too.                                 

    The use of animations in classrooms can be a fun and engaging way  to learn for the students.They can feel like they have more freedom than they have in the physical world as they seperate themselves from the concerns about appearence and general physics.

Heart Cam 

  This application is ideal to surprise the students by making them think that it actually shows their own heart. Good distraction and it can be a good conversation starter in the classroom.
