Door Decorating Contest

Every year the lower school classrooms decorate their doors for Book Character Day.  On this day we dress up like our favorite book character from any book.

This year we decorated our door like "Read Box".  Instead of renting movies, you can watch book reviews.  We used the app called Educreations and recorded our voices giving a summary of any chapter book we read.  We also included who we think would like to read this book.

We took our digital reports and turned them into QR codes.  You can scan the QR code and watch our book report videos.

We also drew the front cover of our chapter book.


You student bloggers, 
The Fantastic Fourth

  2. I love this idea, but have a question. To make a sample, I created something in Educreations. Then I got the link and made the QR code. But when I read the link using my QR Reader on my phone, it says I can't view it because I don't have Flash. Did you have this problem? Educreations seems to save as a flash file. How are your parents accessing the QR Code? I'd love a solution because this sounds like a fun, easy project!

    1. Sometimes you have flash on one browser but not another - try a different one and see if it works. I'm not an expert by any means, but when I had trouble with not being able to see flash, it worked if I chose a different browser.
