QR Code Boot Camp
When you create a QR code save it to your computer (make sure you give it a distinctive name). You can then insert it into whatever program you are using to display your QR code. If the program allows you to insert a picture you can put a QR code there.
QR Code Generators - these are a few that I have used, but there are many out there.
QRstuff.com This one will let you choose a colored QR code instead of just black.
QR Code Generator
goo.gl If you have a Google account you can use goo.gl to create a shortened URL AND it will automatically create the QR code AND it will store the code AND it will track how many times your code was used.

To link to text
When making your QR code you can chose for it to display text. However, the print will be small and kind of blah. I like to dress it up by using Publisher, PowerPoint, or Paint to create my text, make it pretty, then save in a picture format (jpeg or gif).
To link to a website
Copy and paste the website address into the QR generator. If you are planning on using a youtube video you may want to run it through safeshare.tv first. That will remove any ads or comments.
To link to audio recording
You can record yourself, students, whatever and save it to your dropbox, or Google Drive and then get a link to share that file. That is the link you would put into the QR generator.
OR
You can use the app audioBoom to record. It even has a built in QR generator. With the free account you get unlimited 10 minute recordings.
OR
QRvoice - you can type in what you want to say. Students can scan the code and then click play to hear it.
My top secret, make me look like a pro, resource is the Flap Jack Education blog. I almost don't want to give away my secret, but it is too good a resource to miss out on. She does incredible things utilizing technology and iPads. Check out her list of QR tutorials.
