Augmented Reality (Aurasma) App



      This is an exciting way to incorporate videos that "float" or "hover" above a poster, document, or a creation. Using this in the classroom and throughout your school (Media/Library Center would be a great place for this), allows learners to gain more information from the document then what is just obvious. By creating an Aura with the App, students can insert their videos they have created to further explain a learned subject area. Teachers can use this as a way to incorporate a scavenger hunt about a particular topic. 
      Aurasma does require you to create an account and have your location settings selected as on in order to operate properly. If you would like more information about this interesting App, please contact me.  Search for the Aurasma on this page (hint, Garfield:), and hear something from some students.
