 I have been using Microsoft's tag reader and it is great, especially when you want to create your own tag that points to content. In Tom Khulman's latest blog he has a graphic of an admission ticket to an event in Phoenix . The ticket had a QR Code on it and the code also had a hyperlink which took you to information about the event.

http://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/heres-how-to-help-your-subject-matter-experts-build-better-e-learning-courses/ is where the article is and I recommend the article as it talks about working with Subject Matter Experts in an eLearning context.

Back on topic... Microsoft tag reader couldn't read the tag, so I downloaded another reader called mobiletag which is in the app store or you can visit their site at http://www.mobiletag.com.

Imagine this... Your class has created a walk through exhibition in your school. The items have an A4 sheet with a brief description and a funny looking barcode in the bottom right hand corner of the page. Students and parents visiting the presentation carry around an iPad or iPhone connected to the schools wireless network.

As they see something of interest and read the fact sheet, they decide to find out more... They click on the tag reader application on their smartdevice that has a camera and point the camera at the barcode. The barcode reader interprets the barcode and immediately starts a browser and visits a website with more information on the subject, complete with videos and audio.
