Learning Goals: Understand the life cycle and terminology of bean seed germination with the
help of scannable technology. Students work together to create QR Codes for their classmates
and help better their understanding.

Engagement in the Learning 0=NO 1=Somewhat 2=YES

The technology allows students to focus 2

on the assignment or activity with less
distraction (time-on-task).

The technology motivates students to 2

start the learning process.

The technology causes a shift in the
behavior of students where they move
from passive to active social learners
(co-use).

Is there significant engagement?

Somewhat/Yes. Students can engage in creating several different QR Codes depending on
the task at hand. They will be less distracted because they can actively engage in picking
out what they would like to include in the QR Code, as well as what they want it to look
like. The website is very straightforward and easy to use, which helps in the creation
process. This also helps with motivation, since they are the ones taking control of what
type of information they’d like to portray. With the Pro version of QR Code Generator Pro,
the students can choose between several options of both static and dynamic QR Codes.
With all of these options, this will also motivate the students to continue to update the
material, if they choose to do so. As for co-use, students could be able to work together to
create QR Codes, but this would be up to the teacher/educator.

Enhancement of the Learning Goals 0=NO 1=Somewhat 2=YES

 The technology tool allows students to 2
develop a more sophisticated
understanding of the learning goals or
content (higher-order thinking skills).

The technology creates paths for students 1

to demonstrate their understanding of
the learning goals in a way that they
could not do with traditional tools.

Is there significant enhancement?

Somewhat/Yes. This type of scannable technology allows for some enhancement, but the
students could receive the same information in a different format. Since the students are
creating their own QR Codes and picking and adding in the information they want, this
somewhat enhances their knowledge of the content. It also betters their understanding of
the material. This website makes it a little bit easier to understand the concepts, yet they
could still achieve the learning goals with traditional tools.

Extension of the Learning Goals 0=NO 1=Somewhat 2=YES

develop skills that they can use in their
everyday lives.

Is there significant extension?

Somewhat/Yes. Students can use their knowledge of creating QR Codes on this website and
apply it to their everyday lives. You can use QR Codes for a variety of things outside of the
typical school day, especially when it comes to scanning them. More and more people,
restaurants, stores, among many things, use QR Codes for better access to websites,
images, etc. Students can apply what they learned through creating QR Codes to better
understand why they are useful in our society. Their knowledge is extended when using
and creating QR Codes outside of their typical school day.
