Holiday Card QR Code

Put a QR code on a collage of family photos for our Christmas card this year! The QR code, when scanned with a QR Reader app on a smartphone, goes to a link of an iMovie trailer of family highlights from the year (about a minute long). The movie trailer, saved on YouTube ( under an unlisted setting, so not public), has a link that can be copied and pasted into a QR creator app. Then the QR code created is saved on the camera roll of the iPad, or device being utilized. The photo of the QR code can be included as a photo, in a photo collage, since it is a photo.
I wrote a blog post in April 2013, about QR codes being utilized in the classroom. It's something I've done for a while now- creating QR codes...so my surprise now is that many people don't have a QR reader app on their iPhones! Unable to read my QR code on my Christmas card, since they don't have an app for that. However, I'm seeing the number of views go up, so there ARE those friends and family who ARE able to read the QR code. Cool.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring regarding technology that I can add to my holiday cards!
