\"qrcode_weblearning_blog\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve accessed my blog via my phone’s camera using this QR code. And while this sounds impossibly complicated, I’ve just learned how this works in the last half an hour.<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/strong>
\nQR codes combine simple creation with easy access to QR code readers. Create the code<\/a> using a QR-Code Generator and then point your mobile phone code reader (you will probably need to download<\/a> an appropriate one) and voila – with a cashier like scan the QR reader will beep and a message should appear that points you to the encoded destination. Much like any other scanner, a QR reader recognizes the QR image, and responds appropriately. <\/p>\n

Significance? <\/strong>
\nThere’s a buzz about Augmented Reality<\/a> applications on Android and iPhones. But for those of us with dinosaurs, we can also participate (to a limited degree) in this spaces to information hype. Apart from better echos, I’d like to see QR codes being used alongside a sign in a museum, garden or gallery to give more information about the item. A QR code could be included by a teacher at the end of a presentation, set of notes or round the classroom, that would lead into a class activity. <\/p>\n

QR codes “support experiential learning, bringing scholarship out of the classroom and into physical experience” ( things you should know about QR Codes <\/a>). While the Desktop brought multi media into the classroom, mobile phones (and other smart devices) are taking the classroom into the world<\/a> and reconfiguring the way that we can incorporate media into our teaching. Start looking for QR codes on shoe adverts<\/a>, scooter posters <\/a>, buildings<\/a>, out in the wild<\/a> or even on your bookshelf. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
