QR Codes

Picture
Y​ou have probably seen these funny looking codes in shops, on posters, at the end of bays in the school library and on many websites. So here are answers to some of the questions you may have about them.

What does QR stand for? It stands for Quick Response and refers to a scannable barcode-like picture the shape of a square that has black splotches instead of lines. 

What do you do with a QR Code?  When you see one of these codes you use you mobile device (it must have a camera, QR Code Reader App and internet access) to scan the code.  Once you scan it, the code will point your mobile device to a web-based location.  There may be images, videos, and documents at this internet location.

How are QR Codes created?
There are many different generators that can be found on the web.  Check out the links below to find some generators.  You type the text, URL or phone number into the generator and it will create a code (picture) which you can then copy and paste onto a website, poster or anywhere else you would like to promote the information.

How can I read QR Codes?
All you need is a phone with a camera or an iPad or android with a  camera.  You will need to get a QR Code Reader App and download it.

How could I use QR codes in my projects?
There are many different ways that you could use QR Codes. If you do use them in your assignments make sure your teachers have access to the QR Code Readers or they won't be able to 'read' your codes.
