Augmented reality, 16

Laura Devaney writes an article addressing augmented reality and how it is really used in the classroom. She claims that augmented reality is a way to blend real life objects with interactive content. An augmented reality app can bring pictures and images to life. In the article one activity was done where they looked at famous paintings to analyze up close the different techniques used.  Laura believes that this 3d reality can help stir students curiosity and interest in the classroom. 

I found this article to be very interesting.  I think that augmented reality could be useful in engaging students in the classroom.  It gives students a visual of what they are learning, and demands their attention and interaction. Students are active learners, which is a good reason why I think this would be effective in a classroom.
