Denmark - Holidays Around the World

Here is a short video that shows an overview of some of the students experiences when they were traveling around Denmark using the new iPod Touches!

Students Travel to Denmark

Students have been traveling to Denmark to see how they celebrate the holidays.  Students have been using the library's new iPod Touches to scan QR codes.  

QR codes are placed around the library on displays about Denmark. For example when they scan the QR code by the Little Mermaid, it takes them to a video I created about how Hans Christian Andersen wrote the Little Mermaid and why it is important to Denmark. 

If they scan a QR code at the Lego store on the Copenhagen Stores, they will be linked to a video that tells them that Legos were created in Denmark and show them Legoland in Denmark.  Below is a rough video link overview of the project that I created for another grant.

Hope everyone has a Happy Holidays and we will see you in January!
