Learning in Hand #25: QR Codes

Transcript This is the Learning in Hand podcast. I'm Tony Vincent and this is the show where I share tips, how-tos, and ideas for using today's digital tools for teaching and learning. Episode 25: QR Codes, recorded March 2012, happens now! Here's a bar code that get scanned at the grocery store. Supermarkets, businesses, and libraries have used bar codes for years because it saves time and is more efficient than typing in the digits. Here's a QR code. Watch this. QR codes are not limited to being just text--they can be hyperlinks. You can find QR codes everywhere. QR codes have been around since 1994. Why the surge in popularity? You know, it's so easy to make a mistake when typing a web address. And what's really great is that there are loads of apps for scanning QR codes that are free. Currently my favorite QR code scanning app is i-nigma. While scanning works best on a mobile device, you can use software on Windows or Mac computers to scan codes.
