In the uncertain times we are living in currently, it is safe to say that we are relying on technology for teaching and learning more than ever before. Before this Covid-19 pandemic, technology has been incorporated in every day learning as a new competency, but this does not always make things easier for everyone involved: teachers, students and especially parents.
Coming from personal experience both as a student and as an educator, I would experience some hiccups in how technology was used to get the lesson across. As a student I would receive work that both myself and my parents could not understand, leaving me not attempting it at all. Now as an educator, I hear this sentiment being expressed years later by my students' parents who have trouble helping their child in homework completion. A modern way to help both students and their parents is by incorporating QR Barcodes in homework sheets that will redirect the parent to a video or web page that explains and guides them to complete the work. This barcode practice can be a great way to keep parents involved in their child's studies at home, help teachers use it as a clarification method, and most importantly provide important and necessary information to everyone with a click of a button.
