Students will use smartphones and QR codes to research aspects of Pacific Northwest Native American culture, including housing, gender roles, unique characteristics, and foods. Information will be gathered by scanning QR codes posted around the room using a smartphone app. Teams will take turns filling different roles - recorder, phone handler, advisor, and guide - to collectively complete the research and present findings via a Smartboard presentation.

Pacific Northwest
Students will use Smartphones and QR codes to research
information on the Pacific Northwest Native Americans.

QR codes...What are they and how do we use them?
Using the app on your Smartphone, take a picture of the
QR code and it will take you to sites to gather your information.

4. Roles everyone in your team will play....
Job A: will be the recorder, this student will record all information gain during their information hunt
onto their assignment sheet.
