I am selecting resources to create an augmented reality unit for an upcoming summer workshop (see the last three weeks' posts and here and here) to help the workshop participants understand the value and benefits of using augmented reality in the classroom. I searched (How Do You Search for Information on a Topic?) for appropriate resources for this unit... and found teachers who shared their classroom experiences and the engaging apps they used.
The workshop materials for augmented reality that I chose fit these categories:
- introduction,
- apps,
- classroom uses, and
- collections of materials to follow as the field of augmented reality in education continues to grow.

Will I use ALL these resources in the workshop? Most likely not. However resources that do not become part of the workshop activities may find themselves in a list provided for the participants to access on their own during the workshop or later.
These sites should help facilitate some interesting and useful discussions. How do you help other educators discover the benefits of using augmented reality?
Hello. Thank you for list of links. It is very difficult to find really useful and interesting information about augmented reality in education. But now I know where I can read posts. I would like to share with you a link https://itechcraft.com/augmented-reality-learning/ to a good article about reasons to use AR technology in education. I hope that this article will be helpful and interesting as your.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the link to the article from ITCraft.com.
