QR for quick reference

On the World History Teachers blog that I follow on my Google Reader, there is a tutorial on how to use QR codes for the classroom.  I think this is awesome!  My students would love this!  And, it seems pretty easy to use.

I am excited to use this next year in my classroom, both for my students on assignments and for my computers class to create their own.
