Some useful information for educators interested in using Augmented Reality for teaching and learning. Example. Create engaging homework in neat little digital bundles. Another way to Flip the Classroom.

1. Top 4 ways to really win
with augmented reality in
your school, community
or library
by Brendan O'Keefe

2. Augmented Reality (AR)
which is accessible and
beautiful to use has
arrived.
Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live
direct or indirect view of a physical real-world
environment whose elements are
augmented by virtual computer-generated
imagery....
- Wikipedia

3. AR is a like three year old
and growing fast
Mark my words, you will be impressed in the
next decade where AR takes us.
In the meantime.... Go ahead and download
Layar for your mobile device. App Store or
Google Play.

4. There are many ways to
use augmented reality in
your teaching
I’m keen to share how this can work for you
even outside of the classroom for those of
you who don’t have a BYOD policy.

5. Types of AR to use now
Maker and Markerless AR. Let me explain
● Marker uses a reference image of some
kind to trigger mixed reality actions
● Markerless uses geolocation or compass
to trigger mixed reality actions

6. My top 4 ways to really
win with augmented
reality in your school,
community or library

7. 1. Books
2. Posters
3. Homework
4. Tours and Public Spaces

8. Explore the possibilities
Creating and Prototyping to incorporate AR
into the Australian curriculum.
Please download Layar onto your mobile
device to view some of my demos.

or the App Store/Google Play

9. Books
Add rich media and social media to any book
or object. For example augmented reality
can connect your books to:

10. Video, 3D, Images, Audio, Pinterest,
goodreads, Shelfari, Great Book Stories,
YouTube, Vimeo, facebook, Twitter, Amazon
and more.
See examples of Augmented Reality used
for education via books here.

13. Homework
Create engaging homework in neat little
digital bundles. Another way to Flip the
Classroom.
Make them accessible via some of these
mediums; posters, book covers, printed
photos, places youth congregate, hijacked
public posters.

14. Posters
Bring hot topics, special days, discussion
points and recent news to life with AR.
How about Earth Day, Mother’s Day,
Christmas, Elections, Natural Disasters,
Thanksgiving, Australia Day. See examples
of Augmented Reality for education via
posters here on Teachers pay Teachers.

16. Tours and Public Spaces
Get your students out and about, active and
stimulated. The fact is movement aides
learning.
Embed homework assignments into spaces
where young people congregate before and
after school. The bus stops, train stations
near school or shopping malls.

19. Tools to build AR
Layar Creator, Aurasma, Hoppala, String,
BuildAR, AugmenteDev
