You may have noticed strange looking squares on signs, magazines, billboards, webpages, and more commonly, store shelves. These squares are QR codes. QR (Quick Response) codes are kind of like a barcode, similar to what you see on every day products.

QR codes are 2 dimensional computer-generated codes that can be scanned and read by mobile devices or webcams. The first time a colleague showed me QR codes, I was literally giddy with excitement. I immediately recognized the potential for QR codes in my classroom.
Creating the QR code is surprisingly easy. I use QRstuff.com - simply type in the text or url of whatever content you want the code to direct toward, and you're good to go. It's literally that easy. From there, the QR code can be downloaded, added to worksheets, emailed, etc. It can even be scanned directly from an LCD projector or computer screen!
Red Door utilized the emerging mobile technology of QR (Quick Response) codes to hide clues leading participants down a path of unique ESET experiences. For those without smartphones capable of reading the QR codes, Red Door created an SMS version of the hunt, where clues were unlocked by texting specific keywords to a shortcode.
At the end of the hunt, contestants received a boxed version of ESET's award winning software, and entered to win a Sony VAIO laptop by texting their email address to a shortcode.
The results were awesome! Over 120 people completed the hunt, and at the first clue (the ESET photo booth) a line formed at the start of the hunt that lasted for hours. The scavenger hunt engaged passers by and made them think about the ESET brand.
Black and white squares resembling a tiny maze can be found on everything from airline tickets to billboards, but businesses are using these digital barcodes to connect customers with the origins of what they eat and drink.
This QR code thing is pretty cool. I wrote about it a couple of weeks ago, Turn a paper based book into an interactive book with QR Codes, and this week in my technology class, I did an exercise with my students. They are all future teachers, I showed them a couple examples of children’s books (grandkids) I did and asked them to bring something to class the next day that they could give it a try. Most brought children’s books, and not all worked well for the project. But, one student brought a road map of Kanas and found videos about various historical towns.
One student, bought a book about the Rainforest, another a book about animals and so on. For the most part pretty good. But we did learn a few things…..
QR Codes have been used before at film festivals for promotion and advertising but tomorrow sees the start of the world’s first “QR Code Film Festival”. The festival is organized in Korea from 21st to 31st July and will take place anywhere in the world where there is internet access, smartphone users and access to the film festival poster (image below). Scanning one of the QR Codes will show a short animation movie from YouTube and there will be a choice of 14 different films. The organizers would like anyone who is interested in participating to print the poster (downloadable PDF) and display it at a suitable venue. They would also like to receive feedback and images at qrfilm to help them organize and promote the 2012 QR Code Film Festival.
There is a lot of buzz around QR codes at the moment, so we thought we would take a look at some of the most creative and stunning QR code business cards on...
