**<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Mind42 and QR Code Activity **

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Your team will be using the Web 2.0 tool Mind42 to brainstorm ideas on how your new Flash game will be used at your school. Each student will need to access www.mind42.com from his/her computer at the table. Use the username and password on the cards at your table (Ex: TEK4S_1) to log into Mind42. Then click your group's created brainstorm (Ex: Group 1 Brainstorming) and let the ideas fly!

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Using the Yahtzee and Scrabble activities completed on December 1st as an example, narrow your ideas to one activity to complete in any classroom at your district. First, identify your audience. Then, identify any resources needed to complete that activity. Write your instructions and include any applicable standards. Give it a trial run! Have a group of students (or teachers!) try your activity. Did they understand your instructions without additional explanation?

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Before our next meeting on January 17th, create a QR code using this link: QR Code Generator. As in our example, the QR code description should include all necessary instructions and standards for another team to duplicate your activity. Once the QR code explaining your activity is completed, copy the image (right click, save copy) and title the code with your school's name. Then, upload the single file to the "Upload Your Flash Game QR Code" area below.
