Putting the World In Their Hands: Augmented Reality in the Classroom Augmented reality at Avenues: The World Schools By Courtney Pepe When many of today’s teachers who grew up in Generation X are asked to reflect on traditional learning objects from their classrooms of the 1980’s and 1990’s, they think of paper, pencils, chalkboards, and textbooks. The classrooms in which Millennials and Generation Z learn are a world apart from those of Baby Boomers and Generation X. Even the sound of learning has changed in today’s classrooms, from the vocal command of the teacher directing students toward the sound of students working together in groups, or listening to audio or visual content on their devices through their ear phones. “Kids are actively doing rather than passively listening,” says Jeff Gorman, Assistant Superintendent of Schools in Monroe Township, New Jersey, and a frequent observer of these forward-looking classrooms. Courtney Pepe is a high school teacher in Monroe Township, New Jersey. Related
PROYECTO INFANTIC-TAC Modelo de implementación que puede ser una guía o punto de partida para los docentes que quieran integrar las TIC en los procesos de enseñanza - aprendizaje en cualquier etapa educativa para desarrollar el curriculo y las competencias básicas de su alumnado. InfanTIC/TAC desarrolla, analiza y evalúa este proceso de alfabetización digital a través de toda la etapa de educación infantil. Desde que el alumnado se incorpora al centro, sin demorar o postponer el desarrollo de su competencia digital como parte importante en su proceso de aprendizaje. Con planes de actuación secuenciados para cada uno de los niveles de educación infantil ( 3 AÑOS/4 AÑOS/5 AÑOS) y que pueden ser IMPLEMENTADAS EN CUALQUIER ETAPA EDUCATIVA, adaptándolos en función de los objetivos propuestos, los contenidos trabajados , las actividades diseñadas y la competencia digital de los alumn@s. proyecto.

Augmented reality in education: teaching tool or passing trend? | Higher Education Network What some may call an 'unsurprising' 71% of 16 to 24-years-olds own smartphones, so why aren't teachers utilising these in the classroom or campus? Is the use of these devices going to detract from the learning process or contribute to future workplace skills? Should teachers be using techniques such as augmented reality (AR) to engage students and develop their skills for the modern world? I believe we should be embracing these opportunities. AR allows people to add digital content to printed material, geographic locations and objects. City University London have used a combination of techniques to develop resources through the CARE (Creating Augmented Reality in Education) project for healthcare students, including a series of 'health walks'. The past academic year has seen many institutions using AR technology within their prospectuses. So what are the advantages for learners? South Staffordshire College grabbed the technology and put it to use across their curriculum.
How to Transform Your Classroom With Augmented Reality Augmented Reality is changing education. What started out as something that was simply “cool” has become a way to engage learners like never before. In fact, while I was first introduced to Augmented Reality through the Aurasma App, I never imagined that while walking through a trendy neighborhood in Washington D.C. this past summer, I would come across the first public interactive augmented reality mural dedicated to the life of the actor Paul Robeson. It was at this moment that I realized that Augmented Reality was a way to bring a new dimension to learning. What is “Augmented Reality”? Augmented Reality (AR) content can be accessed by scanning or viewing a trigger image with a mobile device that creates a subsequent action. How can I start using AR in my classroom? Using the Aurasma App and Aurasma Studio, you can create your own “Auras” (or AR experiences), and use them to engage students in creative ways. And why exactly should I start doing this?
iPad y Realidad Aumentada uso en el aula Por dónde empezar Una de las cuestiones más sobresalientes en la lectura del tema de la realidad aumentada en educación, es la enorme red de ideas, formas y posibilidades por explorar en el tema. Siempre tiene uno la sensación de no haber leído todo, de no haber descubierto algo importante, porque a cada vuelta de página (o clic) nos encontramos con algo más sorprendente o más adaptable a nuestra realidad concreta. Entonces, ¿por dónde empezar el tema? Algo que considero fundamental es dejar en claro no solo qué es la Realidad Aumentada sino y fundamentalmente que existen distintas formas de tecnologías a las cuales se engloba en general con la idea de Realidad Aumentada. Y por otra parte, tener en claro que estas formas van mutando en función de las mutaciones de las mismas tecnologías o bien de las aplicaciones y usos que las personas hacen de esas tecnologías. Qué es Realidad Aumentada También pueden encontrar el vídeo en este enlace. Un mismo concepto, distintas formas Sir Ken Robinson
The Beginner's Guide To The iPad And iOS 7 Apple may be about to announce a slew of new devices over the coming months. From an iWatch to an iPhone to an iPad, there’s a lot of technological nonsense to keep track of. What’s a busy teacher to do? In the following videos, I attempted to build a guide to the iPad that walks you through how the iPad works using the not-yet-available operating system iOS 7. Each video below is from a free Modern Lessons course I built in hopes of helping teachers get a firmer grip on how to actually, you know, do things on the iPad. Teachers who are rolling out iPads in the classroomStudents curious about the new iOS 7 on the iPadAnyone looking to get a refresher course on the basic functions of the iPad. So, all useful stuff.

Augmented Reality: A new way of augmented learning Augmented learning is defined as an on-demand learning technique where the learning environment adapts to the needs and inputs from learners [1]. Broadly speaking, "environment" here does not have to be constrained into the physical learning environment such as classroom, but could refer to such learning environment as digital learning environment, through which learners can stimulate discovery and gain greater understanding. The technologies conventionally used for augmented learning incorporate touchscreens, voice recognition, and interaction, through which the learning contents can be geared toward learner's needs by displaying plain texts, images, audio and video output. For example, in mobile reality system, the annotation may appear on the learner's individual "heads-up display" or through headphones for audio instruction [2]. This system has been shown to improve life-time learning performance. What is Augmented Reality? Implications of AR for Education Conclusions References
20 Ways to Use Augmented Reality in Education Second Life proved an incredibly valuable tool for educators hoping to reach a broad audience — or offering even more ways to learn for their own bands of students. Augmented Reality Development Lab: Affiliated with Google, Microsoft, and Logitech, the Augmented Reality Development Lab run by Digital Tech Frontier seeks to draw up projects that entertain as well as educate. The very core goal of the ARDL involves creating interactive, three-dimensional objects for studying purposes. Reliving the Revolution: Karen Schrier harnessed GPS and Pocket PCs to bring the Battle of Lexington to her students through the Reliving the Revolution game, an AR experiment exploring some of the mysteries still shrouding the event — like who shot first! PhysicsPlayground: One of the many, many engines behind PC games received a second life as an engaging strategy for illustrating the intricate ins and outs of physics, in a project known as PhysicsPlayground.

AR SPOT web AR SPOT is an augmented-reality authoring environment for children. An extension of MIT’s Scratch project, this environment allows children to create experiences that mix real and virtual elements. Children can display virtual objects on a real-world scene observed through a video camera, and they can control the virtual world through interactions between physical objects. This project aims to expand the range of creative experiences for young authors, by presenting AR technology in ways appropriate for this audience. In this process, we investigate how young children conceptualize augmented reality experiences, and shape the authoring environment according to this knowledge.
