How to Use QR Codes

Today many of us depend on our phones to find websites. Typing in a web address in the phone or iPad is challenging. More people are using a QR code to take the viewer directly to a site.

First you need to open http://www.qrstuff.com/ OR http://qrcode.kaywa.com/dashboard/.
Copy link address into the space provided.
Use your phone to scan the code and make sure it takes you to the correct website - AND that your website privacy settings are correct.
Copy the QR code and add this code to your business card, PowerPoint, Handout.
Add a caption that tells the viewer, "Scan this code to find ____."
Now students can use their phones in class to take a survey or view a graphic.
