Week 9 - QR Codes

Robin Ashford (2010).  What is This - QR Code. http://www.flickr.com/photos/25095603@N07/5022258350/in/photolist-8DNord-9kxhMz-89QSaE-9B3ewk-8DVR34-djXE2s-crAYbb-7NQjpN-bycK1S-8rjjrC-9KUVs5-8Udtgv-8vvvmu-8vvvpW-8vvvgY-8vssie-8Ugys5-9KSKFg-8DNojw-8L8mqR-8Lbrnw-8L8nwH-9p77om-9uAn2g-8DYfwq-979zCS-976v3v-8UBCqb-9pFrzM-8Lbs9d-8Lbsvq-8L8nSZ-8LbrgU-8Lbsgj-8L8ncr-8LbrP1-8L8n52-7H9AgX-9cSbQu-9cP6GT-9cSbKA-ajshUG-ajshAQ-ajsh6L-ajpuen-9eiM83-8F69Sw-979zLN-7GEhME-bhJYeB-9kH2LP   

This week I have learned all about QR Codes. Now, for full disclosure, I don't have a Smart Phone or anything with an i in front of it that would read a QR code.  So, now you know.  But, I made one that links to this blog.  Now I can hand out business cards or flyers for parents that will send them right back here.



I used the I-Nigma to create this QR code.  It was really, really easy!  I could use this in the library to send kids to a website that tells them all about the time or event for a historical fiction display or to an author's website for an author study display.  I could post instructions through QR codes all around the library.  The possibilities are endless....if only my library had a device to read the codes.

I was even able to make a QR code that would talk.  I did it at QRVoice.  I could use this one to tell the kids little blurbs about books and displays in the library.

I love the idea of linking QR codes to book trailers!  What a great way to get kids excited about books!

  1. Jessica,

    I just wanted to say that I love that you have used this blog project the way you did--so that you can really use it with students, too! And you are passing on all the knowledge we are gaining straight to them. Kudos to you for that wonderful idea and execution!

  2. Good choice to link to your own blog. Would be nice to use in a variety of school publications.
