It's that time again! Technology Tuesday!
Today's tech share is a free app called Aurasma.
This is a great tool to use in the classroom to create Augmented Realities.
Check out this video to see what Augmented Reality looks like, then I'll let you know how I use it in my classroom.
I have used it to enhance student work. Last week, students completed a timeline of their second grade year. Afterwards, I videotaped them presenting their timeline, then "linked" it to the Aurasma app. Now, students can take any device with the Aurasma app on it and listen & watch their classmates present their projects.
As you can imagine, there are unlimited uses for this tool.
I first learned about it in a PD a few months back at our school.
When I had some free time I hopped over to Kleinspiration to read more about it. This is an incredible blog post all about Aurasma, including genius ways to use it in your classroom, and a VERY easy user guide!
Hope you can use this in your classroom, my kiddos have loved it!

No worries, Stacy, you have to start somewhere right?! :) Thanks so much for the nomination, you are too sweet!
DeleteLOVE Aurasma! We used it at Open House the last two years. I emailed instructions for following our class to parents ahead of time. It is such a neat way to share digital work and add an interactive layer to projects. www.erintegration.com

DeleteHi Amy! Thanks so much for linking up for another Tech Tuesday! Your blog looks SO good! I love the font you used for "Bunch" and your color scheme! I am working with Megan on updates right now too... Just saw my preview and am so excited. Anyway, I have been looking for an app for Augmented Reality... I can't wait to try this one out with my kids next year!
