Tech Tip: Creating a QR Code

Looking to connect with your students who are constantly on the go? Are you trying to find ways to become more interactive with your audience?

RBS Undergrad Advisors have been using this QR code technology to counsel students this semester. Check out these steps to create your own QR code:

1. Visit go.rutgers.edu 2. Click on ‘Add Line’ and create an entry with an assigned URL by entering a name and original URL

Cairns

Did you know that stacked stones on a trail or beach are called Cairns?

Since ancient times, rock balancing has been used by some societies as directional markers, for burial purposes, or to signify that a traveler is on the right path. For modern stone stackers, it is simply a form of creative expression; a way to leave a mark that you were there. But some environmentalists believe balancing stones disturbs the soil and makes an area more prone to erosion, and that it could destroy the homes of insects and animals.

What do you think of this popular art form that is popping up all over our woods, deserts and beaches? We would love to share your thoughts and pictures in the next issue of Inside RBS.
