Augmented Reality in the Classroom

What is Augmented Reality?

Augmented reality is “the integration of digital information with the user’s environment in real time.” (TechTarget, 1999)

What does Augmented Reality (AR) do?

AR “creates layers of digital information on top of the physical world that can be viewed through Android or iOS devices.” (Nesloney, 2013)

What are some uses of AR in education?

Use the Aurasma application to activate “triggers” applied to different images or text to activate students videos on how to solve certain math problems.

The class picture on the district or teacher website can “trigger” a virtual tour of your classroom.

Bring STEM lessons to life with a 3D rendering of a coloring page through Quiver.
