This article
begins by discussing the various ways in which augmented reality is currently
used: yellow first down line that appears during football games, sky walk app,
and even the ghost that sits next to you on the Haunted mansion. It then continues to tell us how augmented
reality is beginning to cross paths with education and that it is going to be
an exciting and creative event for both the student and teacher.
Question 1: How would you use AR in your classroom?
One of the programs the article discusses is Zooburst. Zooburst is a program that assists students in creating AR viewable popup books (if you have a webcam). If you do not have a webcam the students can still view the popup books on the computer. I visited this site and all I could say was Wow! The site is user friendly and so much fun. You get to create your own story and make it come to life by adding 3D images to the blank page. Using augmented reality is a fantastic approach to teaching and learning. I am going to try using Zooburst to help my students write narrative stories. In addition, I am also going to try it out with vocabulary words. Have them make a vocabulary book. First they would use the vocabulary word in a sentence and then create a picture that describes the vocabulary word. I think creating such a vivid and interactive scene for the vocabulary word is going to help them visualize remember the meaning of the vocabulary word.

Question 2: Is Augmented Reality necessary for students?
Augmented Reality, like so many of the other new programs I have learned about is another fun and exciting method to help students learn. It is yet another tool to help motivate, teach, and enrich the students’ academic curriculum. So, is it necessary? I say if you have access to the internet then yes, it is absolutely necessary. Augmented Reality can be a free web-based tool that can help students develop their creativity and so much more.
