My buddy John Neff, Staff Development Specialist over at the Center for Teaching & Learning at Moraine Valley Community College (my former workplace), was kind enough to demonstrate how QR codes work when I visited the college today. I was amazed to see the kinds of data that could be stored in a QR code and how the barcode scanner on his Android phone easily handled these codes.
Here is one you can scan to capture my contact information:
I created this one using a web-based QR code generator at http://qrcode.kaywa.com/. Now, if you scan this code, you can save my contact information right into your cell phone. Pretty neat, eh? Want more ideas? Do a quick Google search with the keywords "using qr codes" and you'll get a nice long list of websites with ideas on how you can use these nifty little codes for marketing your business and sharing information.
Thanks, John, for sharing this cool tech tidbit. You learn something new everyday!
