Google URL Shortening and Bonus QR Codes

This week we will be brainstorming classroom uses of URL shortening, along with a bonus advertisement for QR codes. Both offer you the chance to do some learning analytics and just in time teaching. I have not gotten a physical news paper in a long time, but this Sunday I was at my parent's house and all through the automobile section were QR codes. Making short URLs and QR codes has never been easier. I will show you how to make short URLs and QR codes. We will also explore how educators are using them. How could we use them? Comment at the event or on the comments below.

Update: Here is a link to the video of the presentation and conversation.

Update 2: Here is a great QR Code infographic (via @dkuropatwa).
