Sensation

Sharon took our class on a trip to sensation where we had to set up a trail using QR codes and iPhones. The science elective followed the codes with our help however I found that the task was manageable enough to follow without too much previous ICT knowledge. I liked this as it gave the ICT group a chance to play and proved achievable for every member of the group. If this activity was used with a class this would provide a sense of achievement and motivation to continue the task. It meets the Curriculum for Excellence principle of Challenge and Enjoyment and enhances the learning of particular scientific knowledge. Instead of superficial play at each station pupil's would receive a deeper learning experience. I would use this with a class as it is quick and easy to create and can also be differentiated by age and/or ability.
