[ISLMA-Share] QR Codes and Book Trailers

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I haven't tried this (mostly because our students aren't allowed to use
their devices during the school day), but I did want to point out that for
those of you who don't know, the newest version of iOS on Apple products
has a QR reader built right into the camera!  For my own personal QR uses,
this has been so helpful.
