What is Augmented Reality?
What if your classroom came alive just like the hallways in Harry Potter? Would your students be more engaged and ready to learn? We believe so! Augmented Reality changes the way students interact with the world by unlocking digital layers that are embedded into flat, one-dimensional images. Travel with us as we demonstrate some of the activities that are currently available to students and teachers and imagine what the future holds for your classroom with Augmented Reality!
