My Eduaction and Training class is discovering new ways to bring about technology in the classroom. This is the APP I discovered. It is called Aurasma and it is an augmented reality APP that shows the students a new way to learn. Rather then the traditional 2D paper learning it brings pictures and words to life using nothing but a simple scan code.
Heres how it works: Aurasma app
The steps of Aurasma are very simple:
1. Download the Aurasma app to any IOS or Android device
2. open your Aurasma studio on your computer
3. Watch the image come to life as video content!
4. Double tap to view full screen or single tap to find out more
Establishing an Aurasma account is even easier:
1. you open Aurasma.com on your desktop of your computer
2. you download the Aurasma APP (available on any IOS or Android product)
3. Then you are free to enjoy augmented reality at your own discretion
Aurasma in the Classroom:
You might be wondering how to use this in your classroom that is if you have one. A way I might use this, seeing as i have third graders as my students, is by having them create there own Auras about people the Social Studies TEKS require them to learn about. As they watch there classmates interesting videos they will at the same time be learning all about the person in the video (people like Milton Hershey, Mary Kay Ash, Henry Ford, etc.). I could also use this APP as part of there Science experiment. Recently, my students each presented a short research project they each did on the Solar System as part of a major test grade this six weeks. If the students knew of Aurasma it would easily open up the opportunity for the students to use this to make there projects really come to life.
