 * 00 (Man with Australian accent) Alrighty what you're looking at here is a skeleton, a human skeleton without a jaw. It's been lost over the years. But, what you can actually see is
 * 15 QR codes which have been placed strategically all over the skeleton. Those QR codes, when scanned, reveal the name of the bone.
 * 25 So what we've been doing in class is the kids have been walking aroundscanning them and to help them learn the different bone names. And the way they've been doing that is, quite simply,
 * 35 by computer. It's connected to a web cam. The web cam goes towards
 * 45 the QR code and scans it okay first though you gotta run the program that lets you do that
 * 55 and I'll put that in the blog post. And then the computer verifies what that particular bone or QR code refers to. You can also link those codes to webpages or any

1:05 sort of, um, further information that they needed to load. And, to make it even easier you can also read the QR codes with your mobile phones. 1:15 Okay, most mobile phones these days come with the QR codes already installed. However I'll put a link so that you can download the QR code reader using the phones camera 1:25 to pick up the QR codes. Ok so, though we're only linking to, um, the bone names, which help the kids learn them, at first 1:35 they're all in the right location so that the "femur", and actually //that one// there says femur, I'm pointing to now; however afterwards I actually got the kids to jumble them up 1:45 and THEN scan them and put them back in the right spot. So although all those have been used in the P.E. [physical education] context, there's no reason why you couldn't use it for any sort of reveal 1:55 activity or anything along those lines. And to make it really engaging, the computer displays the correct answer on the whiteboard 2:05 which the kids could then, um, answer on their sheets, which is really, really good. So they're walking around when they're all stuck on something, they're basically 2:15 just scanning it to, to learn what it was. And if you continue to do this process you should find that their, their learning improves. 2:25 Hopefully, automating the whole process with their little bone skeleton and their QR codes. So how do you think you could use this? 2:35 I'd love to see how you could, how you think you could. [END]
