Editor's Notes
- #5: Like Pixel games – every part, every square has some meaning and information – some code, some date
- #7: - The pattern - QR Code reader will be able to read data
- #8: There is no right direction No meaning for simple users. Just to note yourself. If you’ll see different QR Codes. The module refers to the black and white dots that make up QR Code. "Module configuration" refers to the number of modules contained in a symbol, commencing with Version 1 (21 × 21 modules) up to Version 40 (177 × 177 modules). Each higher version number comprises 4 additional modules per side.
- #9: - And many more… - There is, also, readers and generator for paid - Same QR codes, but in different colours
- #10: - Even in short version (the second link) the URL is too long for wrinting
- #11: QR Codes are contributing to making a variety of our activities both at home and at work convenient. It can be used in our daily life not only for printed matters such as fliers and name cards but also as a payment system. It can also be used for various business purposes at factories and in logistics operations. Since QR Codes are now used in such a wide variety of ways, they have now become an indispensable tool in our lives. This high functionality on a par with our way of living and its design quality are valued publicly, and in 2012 it was awarded a Good Design Award, an award from a design promotion initiative sponsored by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion, a public interest incorporated foundation.
- #13: - The number depends on the tool
- #15: - Skin also
- #17: - More ideas using QR Codes in the classroom: - Great voting tool - “QR codes can be a great voting tool allowing students to vote by simply scanning the code as they enter or exit the classroom.”
- #18: Scanning a QR code makes is easier for the younger students so they don’t have to type the long urls. “… have the students become self-directed learners by creating QR stations. The students scan the QR code to reveal the task and the students must work together to get the task complete. This builds on the 21st century skills of communication, collaboration and critical thinking.” “Provide an alternative access format for students who need additional support in reading and writing.” Students can quickly access information while using their own literacy support apps or software.

- #21: At the end! Rather than giving students the time-worn paper handout, provide a QR code that accesses instructions, announcements, or assignments. Use one page of QR codes to displace multiple handouts, or use codes on-screen to eliminate paper entirely!
