Educators need classroom technology that… --is cheap --functions properly --enhances proven teaching methods

The Classroom of the Future…Today! Please?

Augmented Reality is an easy (and awesome) way to kickstart any classroom into the 21st Century TODAY!

Detailed answer Using a camera-enabled device to view superimposed

computer-generated objects or video in a real-time environment

What is Augmented Reality (AR)?

Chances are, you have already seen examples of AR…

Shorter answer On a computer/phone/tablet screen, you get to see

and “hold” things that are not actually there…

How Teachers Might Feel at First…

Three Levels of Engagement

Getting Our Feet Wet…
