STUDENTS TODAY: Campaigning 2.0

One of our JH social studies teachers shared this story with me recently... It shows great application of technology knowledge and skills and how those (along with knowing about her peers’ propensity for multitasking and connecting with others) can be very practical and efficient when running for political office! 

“I just wanted to share with you my daughter's 21st century campaign for student government. She is running for vice-president of her university's student government. On "free wings" night at the local Buffalo Wild Wings, she handed out her campaign flier to students waiting in line for their free wings. On her flier she included her picture, what she was running for, and..... a QR code that takes you directly to her campaign Facebook page! She said many students scanned the code on their smartphones while waiting in line! So much for campaign buttons and making posters!”

Maybe the QR campaign t-shirt is next?!?!?! (see sample image above!) 

UPDATE: By the way... she won!
