QR Codes Help Promote Book Week









 


We are now seeing QR codes everywhere!On business cards,brochures,magazines and newspapers.A QR (Quick Response) code is similiar to a barcode in that it encodes information and they are a very convenient way to connect people to further information such as written text,websites,phone numbers or email addresses.In the ISC we are now thinking about how we an use them to promote our resources.This week, Joy has created QR codes for our  Childrens' Book Council of Australia's 2012 short listed novels,linking them all to book reviews.There is a display of the titles with their QR codes on the western glass panel in the ISC. Copies of each of the novels also have the QR codes on their front covers.With the growing number of  mobile devices in the school, it is another way our students can access further information about the shortlisted novels.
