[Video] How to easily create a QR Code

Posted on 03. Mar, 2011 by in Engaging Your Audience, Software, Tips

I talked in an an earlier piece this week about what a QR Code is. There are a variety of places you can create these codes. Here’s a nice list of some QR Code online generators.I’ve also taken one of them and created a video to show you how easy it is to make one of these barcodes. On Monday, I’ll show you how to create a Microsoft Tag.

    Just saw a link to this article at the Walsworth site where I posted the following: Wanted to say we are making our first foray into adding content and coverage to our book this year. While admittedly not a Walsworth publication, we aren’t tied into any one publisher for our codes anyway. We have been working with yearbook unlimited to make sure we know what to do and that everything works as it is supposed to. Anyway, we have been educating our students about QR Codes throughout the year. In fact, we are going to give away an iPod Touch soon using QR Codes as part of a “Treasure Hunt.” We didn’t want to spring these strange little mazes at them without having exposed the student body to them beforehand, but I think in a year or two they will be ubiquitous and everyone will know about them anyway, especially with smartphone adoption rising so quickly. We are excited about it. In fact, we are using them to phase out the DVD we used to always include with our book. If anyone has any questions about our experience, feel free to email me.
