2. WHAT IS A QR CODE?
• QR = Quick Response
• Digital barcode that is readable using a QR
reader/scanner from a computer or mobile/handheld
device.
• Barcode with information: contact
information, websites, text, video, pictures and so much
more.
• Seen on flyers, subway posters, brochures and even
cereal boxes.
3. WHY USE QR CODES?
• Instead of asking others to type in a long web
address where they could easily make mistakes, a
QR code will take them straight to a website.
• Direct link to list of websites & tutorials. Make
Internet research easier.
• Saves time; Instead of waiting for each person to
type in a long web address, the QR code will quickly
scan directly to the website, text, video, or picture.
