QR-Codes are becoming increasingly popular and we can now see them all around us. They are popping up on packaging, billboards, in magazines and on flyers.
What many people might not realise is just how easy it is to create your very own QR-Codes. Especially in Education this opens many doors to creativity and independent exploration by the children.
On this blog we will try and share some great things you can do at home or in class using QR-Codes. To find out more about QR-Codes, search this Blog or click on the Label ‘QR-Codes’.

I love this website! It gives you the options to customize your QR-code with Logo’s, colours and gradients. When finished you can render the image on High Resolution(40) which is big enough to print on a A4 or A3 Paper.
