QR+codes+for+learning

To make your own QR code and to receive analytics about how many times your code was accessed etc. follow these steps:

1. Copy the URL you want to link to. 2. Paste the URL into bit.ly.com and click 'shorten' (if you use different computers, to check your analytics, you'll need to create an account. You can sign in using FB or Twitter. If you use the same computer, bit.ly recognises it and keeps track of your analytics without signing in. The website fur.ly actually gives better analytics, but it's blocked at school.)



3. Copy the URL bit.ly has generated. (Notice how bit.ly is keeping track of the URLs I've shortened?)



4. Paste the shortened bit.ly URL into a QR code generator 5. Select URL. Select which size you want the QR code. Click generate and a code will appear.

6. Print out the code and stick it onto your poster, book, etc. 7. Use the QuickMark software on tablets on QR code readers on iPhones, Android, etc. to read code. This will send you to the URL. 8. Go back to bit.ly and click on Info Page+ where your analytics will show how many times your URL has been accessed:
