QR Code
How do I read QR Codes?
 QR Codes can be used with a mobile device like a smart
phone or a tablet that has a built in camera and access
to the internet
 The device must have an QR Code reader app (also
called scanner) installed
 There are many apps to choose from.
 Scan for Apple devices
 QR Droid for Android devices
NOTE: QR Code Readers should be FREE & should not
require any personal information
22
QR Code Readers
The QR Code Reader
app uses the camera
on your device to scan
the code and then uses
the internet to interpret
the instructions in the
code
23

HashTags
 #AdultEd  # EdTech
42
Hashtags vs Mentions
 Hashtags have # in front of them (no spaces
allowed)
 Hashtags are like signposts to content
 Mentions start with @ followed by a person
or organization’s twitter name (no spaces
allowed)
 Mentions help connect people who tweet
(tweeple?)
 Mentions are like sign posts to other people
who tweet
43
Hashtags are Ephemeral
 Hashtags lose their value if they are not
used often.
 If using a hashtag for a short term event it’s
a good idea to archive the content so it can
be found later
