Loess Hills first-graders create a ‘virtual reality’ zoo
In a science project detailing the habitat of wildlife, kids researched an animal of their choice and prepared a written report that had to be read on camera. Satisfying Loess Hills' computer science requirements, the kids also needed to create a Quick Response (QR) code that would give other students access to corresponding videotaped reports by scanning a bar code via school tablets.
"The students needed to demonstrate knowledge in reading, writing, science and computer science in a single project," Taylor explained. "They're applying four different skills and having fun doing it."
That was certainly the case for Ethen, who chose to learn about lynxes because "they rock!"
