Playing with AR
I am really enjoying the presentations by the teams.
I never gave much thought to AR , never even considered the possibility of having an AR app on my phone. Thanks to team AR, I am now playing with it.
I attempted two of the activities – Zooburst and Layar. The links to my ‘creations’ can be found here:
The free version of Zooburst is very limiting. The premium version — as is usually the case with free but update to premium options — seemed to offer interesting possibilities. Purchasing the premium unlocks drawing and media tools along with the upload pictures function. Educators — for a cost — could create a collaborative environment where learners could use these tools to customize stories or create images. This activity was easy to do but because of the constraints I think my book was not as engaging as it could have been.
Layar was free with links to many social media apps as Standard Buttons. I also found this activity easy to do. Having the links to so many social media sites in one environment is a great way to leverage the campaign possibilities. I can see this being useful to business/English classroom. It also provides a way to theme plan with links to your theme in one ‘setting’.
