description
During our session we discussed the development of augmented reality and what teaching opportunities it provides teachers and the types of learning activities available for students. To illustrate these points we looked at four augmented reality apps. colAR Mix This app allows the user to download pre-designed pages (like pages from a coloring book) that can be colored. How the page is colored is how the 3D image will appear when viewed through the app. This is a great app for after-school activities or for young learners. AR Flashcards This app provides users with colorful alphabet letters to be printed out. When the letters are viewed through the app a 3D animal appears atop the letter. If the animal is touched the user will hear a child say a short phrase, such as, "G is for gorilla." This app is fantastic for young learners or ELL students. It is a very simplistic app, but fun and useful. Layar Layar comes from a European group that wants to make the "print world clickable". Through a free subscription to Layar.com users can create interactive images where clickable buttons appear atop an image. These clickable buttons can take viewers to a preset webpage, a gallery of pictures, or to a YouTube video. If properly executed this is a fantastic app; however, it takes some time to create a worthwhile product and is not very simple. Aurasma Aurasma allows users to create "auras", digital layers that appear atop an image viewed through the app. These auras can be additional images, videos, or 3D creations. It is a very simple app to use and highly adaptable. In just a matter of seconds teachers can create an aura that students can view to see additional information or students can create videos that describe viewed image. Being that this app is so versatile, we spent the majority of our time looking at how we can use it in our class, regardless of the grade level or subject we teach. It is a fantastic tool for the iPad classroom!

Admin Uses for AR•Create virtual tours for prospective
families
•Post photos of faculty at their classroom doors. Turn these photos into triggers that can launch a video of what students do in that class or information about the teacher. Great for prospective families. Create a scavenger hunt or bingo sheet using these triggers as a community building exercise.
Teacher Uses for AR•Post your photo outside your class. Create
a trigger that takes students to your class website or club information, like QR code.
•Provide additional information or examples to student text. Use triggers to direct students to information not in the text.
•Use the microphone to transcribe comments about a student’s project. Take a screenshot of these comments and create an aura that is triggered by that project.
Teacher Uses for AR•Create a virtual field trip around
campus
•Facilitate a “get to know me” activity where teachers or students create videos about themselves that are attached to their photos.
•In a genealogy or history project have photos of relatives launch a video or text of an interview with that person. Creates a physical and digital project. (Roots project)
Teacher Uses for AR
•Provide guiding questions for students to consider as they’re beginning an assignment, unit, or discussion.
Student Uses for AR•Create posters depicting simplistic topics,
such as mathematical symbols, atomic elements, punctuation marks, etc., and use them to trigger videos describing their use or purpose. Can be scaled to ability level.
•Create a video describing the creative/mental process followed for a project
•Have a fictional character retell the story from their point of view (mixed up tales)
Student Uses for AR•Locate a current event news article
that relates directly to topic within class text. Create a trigger to that article. For an extension, create a brief video describing this correlation and/or its significance.
•Keep a running log of their ideas and thinking using pictures of the object (not necessarily a static image) as a trigger.
