Teaching English Using Wordle and QR code

Hello everyone!

I'm back!

Today I'm going to share you my experience in technology session at BGSU.

My wordle

QR code

We learned to create wordle and QR code for language classroom purposes. I have seen many word clouds on google images and never thought that I can use them for teaching English. We actually can use wordle to teach vocabulary, to introduce a unit or topic,to teach writing, to teach literature and pre-reading activities such as the theme or the ideas in the reading. Of course, there are many ways to use wordle for your classroom and you can be creative with it. I am not going to explain here how to use wordle but you can go check www.wordle.net and see it for yourself. Oh..note it somehow does not work with google chrome but you can try Firefox or internet explorer.

The next interesting tool for teaching english is QR code. You may find QR code for your social media account or some items for pricing, but now what about using it in your classroom? Magical isn't it? So you can use QR code to create a survey for your students and you want to share the link to your students. So, instead of typing such a long link you can use QR code to make it quick. All you have to do is go to www.qrstuff.com and try it out! Good luck!
