PodCamp Western Mass

Last weekend, I  attended the second annual Podcamp Western Mass. If you ever have an opportunity to attend Podcamp, the New Media Community UnConference, they are held all over, I highly recommend.  Roughly, they are people coming together and within a loose skeleton of sessions, a conference emerges covering all topics dealing with New Media.

In 2007, I traveled to Boston to attend Podcamp and late, last year to NYC to WordPress Camp-which is similar in feel yet has more structured sessions all focused on WordPress. I always walk away with my head spinning with ideas, new contacts and loads of concepts and links to research.

At Podcamp a small group of us discussed the applications of mlearning [mobile learning] and how it impacts all areas of content creation and delivery.  One of the more interesting items discussed were QR Codes. I first heard of these back in 2007 and sort of been watching how they are evolving.  To get a basic overview, of QR Codes, check Wikipedia Quick Response Codes.

Second Stop: Trent Watching- which has been a long-time favorite of mine!
Infolust appears to be along article, stay with it…it is light reading loaded lots of great trend information. Well worth the time, as this article goes into the global use of QR Codes.  Realllllly interesting.

Now, if you are still wanting to know more about QR Codes, head over to my Lab Notes Wiki and read much more!
