What exactly is
Augmented Reality?
Blending (augmenting) virtual data —
information, rich media, and even live
action — with what we see in the real
world, for the purpose of enhancing the
information we can perceive with our
senses

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Guesses?
  • #4 New Media Consortium (2010 Horizon Report) says that simple augmented reality is “just two to three years away from having a significant impact on education. http://wp.nmc.org/horizon2010/chapters/simple-augmented-reality/Augmented reality can be delivered using different devices – both in and beyond a classroom setting. Let’s look at some examples.
  • #11 New iPhone App (Yelp)
  • #12 LOCATIVE capabilities cont.:London Subway stations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2uH-jrsSxs&feature=relatedHow could these VR and locative capabilities be levereged for VR “quests”, problem solving, higher level thinking and engagement? LOOK for an explosion of mobile VR possibilities coming SOON! How will YOU use mobile VR?Directional London Subway

  • #23 Minjuan offers an interesting peek into what China is doing with mobile learning. There are implications for U.S. educators! (See: mLearning_WantMJ_class.pptx)

Government subsidies are one factor.Students already have and use this technology. It is accessible to a large percentage of of the student population. The only “hitch” is classroom access….
  • #28 Q: Has anyone used any sort of mobile learning activity with their students?
  • #29 http://www.upsidelearning.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/mobile_learning_demand1-e1280413173331.jpgThis graphic from upsidelearning.com, shows several types of mobile learning we might consider
  • #30 http://mashable.com/2010/07/29/american-museum-of-natural-history-app/Free iTunes app: American Museum of Natural History Explorer App Allows learners to customize museum experience and choose items of most interest, route, visit length, “favorites”, share on social media sites.From website: The Museum has been newly outfitted with indoor Wi-Fi, and users can use the app to pinpoint their location and receive turn-by-turn directions through the 45 permanent exhibition halls, theaters, restrooms, cafes and shops. In addition, the app can be used to access customized visual and audio tours, a fossil treasure hunt, and further information about more than 140 specimens and objects on display — all of which can easily be shared to e-mail, Facebook or Twitter.How could this type of experience change how your students learn? How would YOU use something like this? (Brainstorm) This URL also links to other global museum examples.
