QR+Codes

The following was originally published July 17, 2011 at http://lochandalden.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html#4268344434658410599 From Wikipedia: A **QR code** (abbreviated from **Quick Response code**) is a specific [|matrix barcode] (or two-dimensional code) that is [|readable] by dedicated QR [|barcode readers] and [|camera telephones]. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded may be text, [|URL], or other data. QR codes can contain any kind of data that you input into them. I used a website to create the codes below. If you have an iPhone, download the qr code reader to find out what information is encoded on them! This proves that the inner GEEK is really in me!



This one is the link to my website for work...

I think this one is my phone number... This one is my name...

I'd love to start using QR codes with my 5th and 6th graders if we do geocaching in discovery woods. Creating QR codes and posting them on trees and plants for descriptions would be really cool. I could see the science and math department joining in on a collaborative project. Using them for scavenger hunts and scanning them could be another possible use!
