Augmented Reality
Examples of how to use Augmented Reality in your classroom:
Instead of having students create a traditional poster or presentation, have students think outside the box and make a poster or image become interactive .

Students can link tutorials, videos, skits, song, explanations of their thought process to their posters using augmented reality.
