That’s right, if you know the right function, the Spreadsheets app can generate QR codes with whatever inputs you like. Don’t believe us?

2013-14 DE CCSS Leadership Academy - home Créer des livres enrichis : un usage des QRcodes pour aider à mener un questionnement autonome en lecture L’intention de cet atelier est de proposer à tout enseignant qui souhaite accompagner un apprenti lecteur de créer simplement des enrichissements de livres papier afin d’améliorer les stratégies de lecture et à d’enrichir l’imaginaire. Les participants seront invités à découvrir des moyens de produire, sans compétence technique particulière, des albums enrichis au moyen de QRCodes (ces codes permettent lorsqu’on les scanne à l’aide d’un Smartphone ou d’une tablette d’accéder de manière instantanée à des contenus numériques associés). Nous échangerons ensuite sur les bases théoriques qui sous-tendent les enrichissements proposés : ceux-ci sont en partie inspirés du travail de Maryse Brumont* sur les diverses stratégies pour conduire les élèves à devenir des lecteurs autonomes. Il s’agira par exemple d’utiliser le questionnement sur les inférences, mais d’autres perspectives pourront être envisagées comme les possibilités de lectures en constellation par exemple. lu : 4782 fois
