QR codes
QR codes are small square barcodes that link to a specific website. Using a QR code reader, users can scan the code with a smart phone to visit the desired webpage. Think of it as a more efficient way to share a link. There are many varieties of QR code reading apps out there, and newer iPhone models will scan QR codes without an app- just use your camera! If you don't have a newer iPhone model, pick any that looks best to you. It's a great app to have on your phone. You never know when you might need to use it!
