You've probably seen QR Codes already, maybe in the supermarket, but have not known what they are or how they might be relevant to you .... but trust me, you are going to find these extremely useful as a learning resource ... and the students are going to find them fun and motivational.

QR Codes are a bridge between the real world and the online world. In this session we will look at what QR Codes are ... how to make them and how to read them ... and how they might be used by teachers and students both in the classroom and outside.

If you own a 'smart phone' then please have it with you for this session, first install any free QR Reader App (use Google to find one) This session is in Second Life, using voice, I'll also be asking you to use a web-browser at the same time. (could be on a different machine … if you have 2)
