Week 3 in the 19Things programme (said in the best Big Brother house voice).
So far I've discovered Wordle which I'd never heard of before and, I have to admit, I love it! I've seen this used in presentations and on posters and liked the look of it, very eye-catching. I found it very easy to use and the instructions were clear as were the terms and conditions of use although I was a little disappointed at the colour selections. I'm hoping I can utilise it to revamp some of our library displays/posters.
I knew about QR codes before and have created some for our library leaflets and posters that link to various parts of our website pages. My colleague has also used them to link to reading lists we've set up on our library catalogue so students can scan the list they want and they get taken to a list of all the books we have that are on that reading list. I'm currently creating some to display on the shelves that link to the e-books we've purchased. I also use http://tinyurl.com to shorten some of these long address so that the QR code is less complicated and more easily read by some older or less fancy smartphones. The QR code generator we use is http://goqr.me
Hope you're having fun with these too!
