Augment and Virtualize your Class!
Below are some of my current favs to help get you started!
Purpose of Presentation
If you haven't had a chance to incorportate augmeneted reality in your lessons, there is no better time then now!
Even though the app/book choices below are geared towards the primary grades (K-5th), you will find that a couple of them do carry a few selections that may be useful in secondary as well.
I will preface this by saying the AR books and apps below are currently some of my favs. As much as I love the free stuff, my choices below do require the purchase of either a book, an app, or an in-app purchase. However, I do hope this does not dissuade you from exploring the exiting world of augmented reality! You will find that with a quick google search, there are many free AR resources that you can add to your repertoire.
So...just what is the difference between AR and VR?
