         5. At each station the student will use their piece of technology and scan the QR Code. Once they scan the QR Code a brief paragraph of information will pop up on their piece of technology. They will read it and then fill in the blanks on their QR Code Fill in the Blank worksheet. They must get through each station to have their worksheet completed.
