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.
