Augmented reality snags a coveted spot in classrooms
This article starts by stating the definition of augmented reality. Then the author begins by stating how she uses it in her classroom. She talks about how much deeper the students go into their work because of the use of the augmented reality application. She states that it lets her students immerse themselves in their learning. She talks about specific examples from within her in art classroom. She goes on to give more specific examples of how a history teacher uses the app within his classroom.
I really like the idea of integrating augmented reality applications into classrooms. Where it is appropriate. I also think that you cannot just expect your students to know how the application works. I think for students to gain actual learning, then they will have to fully understand how the application works. Teachers will need to be prepared to spend maybe an entire lesson on the application itself to ensure that enriching learning is happening, which is the whole goal in integrating augmented reality applications in the classroom. I feel once students know how to use the application, then they can be successful in using it to help make learning more emjoyable and a more enriching experience.
