Thinking about AR integration into the classroom and looking for apps that haven’t been mentioned as much, I have taken a look at the Quiver app. Used in conjunction with a web-based site, students are given colouring sheets that are related to the topic at hand. Once they are coloured, using the Quiver app, a QR code is scanned and the images come to life. The web-based tool has a teacher dashboard, activity packs, colouring packs available for download if the user has an appropriate subscription, and lesson plans to support each activity pack. While a free trial is available, there is a cost for most of the content, aside from a few free downloads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This app not only brings student art to life, it also provides cross-curricular opportunities between art, science, and technology. Take a look at the screen-recorded video<\/a> I took to see how this app works.

While it is unclear if the increased achievement and attitudes were a direct result of the AR applications themselves or the overall attention and excitement AR and 3D applications garner, they do seem to have a positive effect in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sahin, D., & Yilmaz, R.
