Augmented Reality is a virtual way to get students highly
connected and engaged with the information they are learning. Augmented reality
simulations are like an educational video game for the students, but they are
so interested in the material the students may not even realize they are
actually learning. This digitally innovative concept brings a picture to life
using a three dimensional application on an iPad or tablet. I believe this
would be such a positive thing to use in my future classroom to motivate
students to explore information on an entirely new level. If I had a 3D virtual
tour of the inside of the human body, I may have loved science instead of being
constantly confused and behind everyone else in school. This can impact student
learning in such a powerful way by giving them an actual tangible
representation of everything in the world around them. There is so much to
explore with these apps it is unbelievable! This concept would be perfect to use in an elementary classroom because of the fun and exciting nature, and it also helps develop 21st century learning skills that so many children struggle with. For the most part children are fairly good with technology, but having something come to life at your fingertips would engage even the most challenged children. These types of learning experiences really foster the needs of visual learners. An awesome Augmented Reality app to use is Aurasma; by using this app you can bring almost anything to life in your classroom.
