QR codes in the wild- redux

I don’t like anecdotal evidence when presented as statistical evidence, so let me be clear that I realize this is anecdotal evidence.

Last week I took down the old QR codes and put up new ones in different places, specifically along the hall where students line up in hoards to go to the cafeteria. I also put up a few little signs under some of them that said, “There’s an app for that! RedLaser.” This time I linked the QR codes to Christmas videos.

IF I WERE SMART (ugh), I would have use bit.ly links. Of course I remembered this AFTER making and printing all the codes, so I counted it but loss.

But anyway, I hung them up. Then as we were going to lunch, my co-workers and I were looking at them in the hall when a student came by and started scanning! We smiled at her and then she went on to explain to us what the codes were and how to use them. Ha! Too cute.

So there’s my anecdotal experience with QR codes. Hoping to use them this week in a contest. I’ll keep you posted!
