Creating QR Codes

              

Once you have finished your Digital Book Talk, you are going to create a QR code for your Book Talk.  Click here to view a tutorial on how to make QR codes.  Then go to Kaywa and create your own.  For your final product, create a page with a picture of your Book Cover and the QR code that, when scanned, will take viewers to your book talk.  How cool is that?
Here's the QR Code for my book talk.  Scan it to view my Book Talk.
