All About AR

What is it? → Augment Reality (AR) is the blending of virtual reality and life. Users are able to interact with virtual content, while in the real world, and are able to easily distinguish between the two (MHcKalin, 2014).
When it can be used → Educators can use augmented reality to create layers of digital information on top of the physical world that can be viewed through a digital device (Nesloney, 2013).
Where it can be used → Like virtual reality, AR can be in multiple environments. The classroom is one that is particularly beneficial. Augmented reality can be used to help students become more engaged in the concept/topic at hand. Rather than just looking at the textbook, or watching a video, students can see the topic come to life in a 3D model through the use of the digital device.
How it can be used → Augmented reality can be used to bring students learning to life. It can be connected easily to specific curriculum expectations across a wide array of subjects.It can be used during a lesson, but can also be used in ways around the classroom that can be accessible to stuedents to refer to when needed; such as a word wall or photo wall.
Why is should be used → Students are more likely to understand a concept or the material, rather than just remember something, when their minds are being stimulated in multiple ways. AR provides an opportunity for educators and students to share in a learning experience that steps away from the traditional pen and paper and into a more technologically engaging experience.
