QR Codes
A QR Code is a type of barcode that can be read by QR scanners and mobile phones with cameras, using a QR reader app. Capable of holding text, data and URLs, QR codes have a greater capacity than the old fashioned 10-digit barcode because they’re two-dimensional. Okay, these weren’t a booming trend in 2010, but we’ll probably see more of them in the future.

I took a webinar where they suggested QR codes could provide just-in-time information about a device, a place, etc. I believe there was some historic building that used a QR code to deliver information about itself. It would be interesting to see a world where information is readily available on demand and instead of learning information we concentrate on developing heuristics for problem-solving using any of the information around us as cases.

With Sixth Sense technology, digital camera will be able to read the object itself to get information, rather than having to print QR boxes which mean nothing to people who don’t have the right technology.

I was thinking of Mistry’s talk / creation, too – had me wondering how long QR codes would remain useful or around at all.

I like the idea of technology so advanced that the digital camera will be able to read the object itself and supply extra information (meta data) but I think the QR Codes will be around for a while until this type of advance is made in digital imaging. However, the speed of advancing technologies continues to astound me.

QR code is a new techology, and my understanding is that there are many ways it can be creatively used classrooms. I would love to learn more about this technology so I can effectively integrate it in my lessons
