Worksheets for the digital age: AR interactive print Ever since schools started using copy machines in the 1960s, worksheets have been a perennial classroom favorite, beloved — by teachers anyway — for their convenience and their ability to foster independent work. For students, however, worksheets have their downsides. Static text on a page is seldom engaging for digital natives, who are used to having so many more dynamic options. But what if there were a way to combine the easy prep and independent work of a traditional worksheet with the engagement of digital tools and multimedia, such as websites, videos, 3D imagery and podcasts? As it turns out, there is a way. Although true AR may still be out of reach for most classrooms, there’s a new, more accessible experience called interactive print that you can use in your classroom right now. How does it work? Check out the sample images below. Pretty cool, huh? Digital literacy and differentiated learning DIY interactive print worksheets Choose an AR program. 12 ready-made AR resources Books

10 Best Augmented Reality Apps Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. Augmented reality has many applications, and many areas can benefit from the usage of AR technology. It was initially used for military, industrial, and medical applications, but was soon applied to commercial and entertainment areas as well. The mobile Augmented Reality (AR) world consists largely of two different types of experiences: Geolocation and Vision based augmented reality. Geolocation based augmented reality uses GPS, compass and other sensors in your mobile phone to provide a display of various geolocated point of interest. Junaio Junaio is one of the best mobile augmented reality browser. It is the first mobile Augmented Reality platform, which can avoid accuracy limitations of GPS and allows usage indoors by integrating LLA-markers. Android | iPhone | iPad Google Goggles
32 Augmented Reality Apps for the Classroom by edshelf: Reviews & recommendations of tools for education Augmented Reality (AR) is a growing field of technology where real life is modified and enhanced by computer-generated sights and sounds. The most common use of AR can be seen through mobile apps. Point your device’s camera at something that the app recognizes, and it will generated a 3D animation or video superimposed over whatever is on your camera’s screen. The effect makes the computer-generated item appear like it’s really there. Want to see how it works? App developers are building AR apps for fun, educational, and commercial uses.

How Augmented Reality (AR) Can Be Great for Math Class: Learning Goals Photo by turkletom / CC BY As you may be aware from some of my recent Tweets, I had the pleasure of presenting at the EdTechTeacher iPad Summit – Boston over the past few days. Overall, it was one of the best professional development experiences I have had the pleasure of taking part in. There were so many great sessions that I hope to blog about soon, but I think I’ll start with the session that gave me inspiration to implement the idea in my own classroom immediately upon returning home. Spectral Learning – Augmented Reality from A to Z – Why AR is the Next Big Game Changer in Ed Tech Facilitator: Courtney Pepe Session Descriptor: This presentation will explore the role that Augmented Reality apps play in making the 21st century digital classroom a wicked awesome place to teach and learn. Although I had heard about the Augmented Reality/AR-Buzz going on in education right now, I really didn’t have any interest in attending such a session before arriving at the conference. Like this:
Using AR & VR For Education: An Interview with Kathy Schrock The latest computing technology isn’t distinct to just enthusiasts and innovative businesses; it’s also used to help students learn. Virtual reality and augmented reality have been at the forefront of innovation in the classroom and Augment has been heavily involved in the learning initiative. Augment has been used by highly touted institutions like MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Stanford and more. But recently Augment’s software was utilized and recommended by the respected education and technology pioneer, Kathy Schrock. Schrock is well-known in the education field for creating ‘Kathy Schrock’s Guide for Educators’, which she launched in tandem with Discovery Education, and is now available as ‘Kathy Schrock’s Guide to Everything‘. She was later named as a “Top Five Innovator in Education” by Technology and Learning Magazine. Are teachers in new institutions utilizing new technology (virtual reality, augmented reality, etc.)? When using AR and VR, you really need to practice.
