QR codes were first created by Toyota to track vehicles in manufacturing, offering a small barcode that can be quickly decoded.

The small, square codes are ubiquitous, showing up on everything from flyers to beer bottles, allowing anyone with a smart phone to quickly scan and find out more information with the code. The possibilities for their use are endless, and many translate into the college classroom, offering a fun and exciting way for students to use technology for learning.

About a month ago, Karl Fisch sent along a tweet from a librarian in Grand Junction, Becky Johnson . Becky was creating QR codes to go along the spines of books in her library.
