Because your kids deserve the very best educational apps. - appoLearning Augment - A Platform for Sharing 3D Models in Augmented Reality A couple of weeks ago Heidi Samuelson shared some good ideas for using the augmented reality app Aurasma in math and reading lessons. Another augmented reality tool that you might consider using is called Augment. Augment is a platform through which you can upload images to have them turned into 3D models that your students can then view through their iPads or Android tablets. The 3D models that are displayed are referred to as "Trackers" on the Augment platform. This page on the Augment website outlines the process for creating Trackers. Applications for Education Augment provides licenses to schools for free. The video above comes from Jonathan Newman who wrote an extensive post about how he uses Augment in his chemistry class.

The Best Augmented Reality Apps to Use with Students (Accompanied with Tutorials and Lessons) February, 2015 Here is a handy chart I stumbled upon today through a Google Plus post from Shelly Terrell. The chart features several wonderful augmented reality apps to use with students in class. Each of the apps is accompanied with the following: a tutorial explaining it, an example of a lesson where the app is being used, and further activities covering other uses of the app. There are actually 19 augmented reality apps in this chart, almost all of them have been featured in this blog in the past but, by far, the best app among them all is Aurasma. The chart on augmented reality resources is created by Terri Eichholz from Engage Their Minds blog.Terri has also published a packet on Teachers Pay Teachers of lessons and activities for using augmented reality in education which you can check it here.
