• Augmented Reality Browsers work by gathering information
from online
sources and placing it on the smart phones screens.

information to
locate the user and then retrieve information based on those
geographical
coordinates.
• The information and graphics are then overlaid onto the camera

• The primary focus of this presentation is to showcase various practical examples of how this tech can be applied within the classroom environment. \n\n
• Yr 8 class (base of 3 desktops / 7 laptops apple computers) • BYOD (first year) • On any given day we will have a range of IOS, android devices, \n laptops and netbooks etc in the classroom. Coupled with establishing a variety of online learning environments, I’ve experimented with the physical\n spaces within the classroom as well\n• Spaces within the class are flexible. No set seating - students are free to sit and move where they prefer. No teachers desk.\n
• QR (quick response) codes. Unlike bar codes, QR codes can encode a heap of different kinds of data.\n• QR codes are “popping” up everywhere now. Particularly as people realise their potential to market products in new ways\n• Recommend these 2 movies\n\n
• Scanning this particular code will take you through to the sunmaid website\n
\n
• If you are new to QR codes ...\n• Generator (usually a website)\n• Reader (usually an app for a mobile device)\n
• Can encode a range of data. Steps 1-4.\n
\n
\n
\n
• I have used this at the beginning of the year as a get to know the syndicates / teachers / various facilities around the school type activity.\n• 6-8 codes around the school - Code contains instructions on what to do or a question to answer. A clue as to where the next code can be found\n• Also as a maths quiz / hunt - gets kids outside, moving, problem solving, etc. Also time them - make it collaborative & competitive.\n• Could be used across all curriculum areas.\n
• In this instance we are linking the physical with the digital.\n• Rugby World Cup activity - prior to BYOD in the school - promote the use of QR codes in the school.\n
• “Art” activity with a difference. Biographical data on code.\n• BYOD - teachers mainly use mobile devices as another tool to access the internet. My attempt to promote their use in \n other ways\n• Apologies for my photography skills (lack of)\n
• Videos less than a minute - contain music (royalty free, original artwork and combination of CC images)\n• We need to be teaching DC - “just in time” activity allows this in an authentic context\n• Some made using imovie on the iphone and ipad\n• Media skills - just as important as literacy skills \n• End result the school library has 20 books with QR codes laminated on linking to book trailers. Great resource. \n
• Easy access for mobile devices (via the QR code) if on paper task sheet\n• Go to viewpure.com drag bookmarklet onto your browsers toolbar. Everytime you want to “purify” a video, click the bookmarklet - easy.\n
• A great resource for teaching and revising skills outside the classroom, as long as there is internet access\n
• Same principle can be applied to all curriculum areas. Eg; maths - worksheets with link to a video explanation of how to\n solve a problem etc. QR code in students maths book linking to their video explanation of how to solve a BEDMAS problem \n
• ESOL applications ?\n
• Create a QR code of any webpage. Drag QR code bookmarklet to your web browser\n• When on webpage, click bookmarklet - generates a QR code\n• Very quick to make a code using this method\n
• In essence this type of AR “labels the real world”\n
\n
\n
• Engaging - has the power to engage the learner like never before. Links with gaming technology.\n• Authentic - can provide greater opportunities for more authentic learning / learning styles\n• Active - not passive technology - students can construct new understandings based on interactions with virtual objects \n that can bring underlying data to life\n
\n
• If you’re looking at introducing your class to AR technology, I’d recommend doing it through this interactive book\n
• Input text - easy to upload images from your computer - edit the angle & speed of the pop up. Embed the book into wiki or blog etc when finished\n• To engage the AR function - print off marker, hold in front of webcam - click “always on screen” button, then you don’t\n have to keep the “marker” in front of the webcam\n• Use gestures to turn the pages of your book\n• Record students presenting their books using quicktime (screen recording) Videos could then be shared on student eportfolios\n
• Using AR to model objects - allows students to present their learning in unique and exciting ways.\n• Perfect for creating videos and embedding in eportfolios\n• Need 4 things: google sketchup, computer with a webcam, AR plug in, “marker”\n• Paid version allows exporting of sketchup models as stand alone independent files which can be visualised on any computer using AR media playerr\n• S\n
\n
\n
\n
• Create videos (quicktime - screen recordings) so students can share their learning on their eportfolios\n
• Trigger - photo / Overlay - videos students have created\n• App brings the two mediums together as an “aura”\n• Launch the app, point the ipad at the photo (trigger) and then the video appears\n• Overlays can be images, animations etc as well\n
\n
\n
\n
• Have this app on the iphone and ipad - highly recommend it\n
• View the night sky in real time - augmented reality feature labels the stars, constellations and satellites\n
• View from our porch, early in the morning.\n\n
• Tap on an object. See how the object transitions through space by dragging on the timeline on the far right\n
• Tapping on an object brings up relevant information.\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
• Labels the “real” world\n• History pin - download the app, use the map function to find locations nearby, point device at feature (local church)\n overlay appears on the feature (photo from how the church looked in the 1900s etc)\n• With your own account you can upload your own content. \n
• Great for use within a natural disasters unit - social sciences\n\n\n\n
