QR Codes

In Room 4 during e-library time we have been learning what QR Codes are, what they are used for and how to make them.
Definition:
A QR Code is quick response code that links to emails, websites, photos, phone numbers etc.  If you hold your smart phone over the code your QR reader will scan the barcode and details of the code will link you to the site for information.  QR Codes are able to carry information both vertically and horizontally which is why it is called a 2D barcode.
