Week 5: Augmented Reality
Week 5
Use in the classroom:
I intend to use the Aurasma I created for my students as a resource for them to help with the order of operations. This will support their learning because it provides different choices for them to view about the order of operations. They can watch videos, read more about it, and practice with an enrichment lesson. Learning objective: The students will be able to understand the order of operations and then apply it to problem solve numerical expressions.
When I attended MACUL this Spring, I was at a session that used augmented learning. I was a bit overwhelmed at it and put it on my summer-to-do list. When I read through this weeks materials, I was so excited! The ladies that presented on this at MACUL made it look wonderful and I was hoping to be able to figure something out for my students. I plan on using this as an introduction to Aurasma when going over the order of operations. Then as my students get familiar with the tool, I would like to have students create vocabulary words as their trigger. Then the overlay could be a link to a video or better explanation of the word. The students familiarity with the tool and getting the app pushed out to all students iPad's will determine the success of this implementation.
Application:
Some of the readings from week 1 align with my lesson idea and digital technology images. Specifically the Pre-Training Principle aligns because I could use this to introduce some of the main concepts beforehand. The Voice Principle is also being utilized in the Powtoon video I created. I made sure to use my own voice as the readings mentioned that this can be helpful for students.
Reflection:
This week had me so excited working with the technology! I was taking videos of myself using the Aurasma tool and sending it via text message to my colleagues. Going outside of my comfort zone and challenging myself has been so rewarding for my students. I'm looking forward to being able to try this out with them. Using the Aurasma tool showed me how engaging the learning could be more my students. That stood out in the readings this week as well. Technology is constantly changing and in order to keep up with our students we need to keep up with the changing technology.

The below is the trigger image I decided to use for my Aura I created on the order of operations.
When students open the app and find the trigger, the below image will pop-up:
From there, the students may click on the links. The links are as follows:

Hi Jaclyn,
ReplyDeleteI love that you added simple step by step iconic instructions for your students to your target image. This will help them to know exactly what to do without having to search elsewhere for tutorials are ask for help to access the information. This is something that I think I will add to future drafts of my own work. Thanks for sharing.
I like how you included multiple overlays into a single trigger. I was not as ambitious and feel I may have missed out on some cool options. This is very well done!
ReplyDeleteHi Jaclyn,
ReplyDeleteA few things..I really like the trigger image you used and how you had multiple overlays! I wasn't as successful using Aurasma but will look to try again some day. I'm jealous that you went to MACUL this year. I went last year and found it very beneficial! Also, I love the part of your reflection where you talked about stepping out of your comfort zone! As younger teachers (I just completed my 2nd year and I'm thinking you haven't been teaching for too long?) I totally understand the feeling of not being confident to share your ideas. I'm sure they loved your ideas with Aurasma!
I also saw you posted about using Front Row in class... I have a few questions I'll send your way at some point if you don't mind.
Yes, I just finished my 2nd year as well! Congrats on finishing yours, too :). Please send any questions you might have about Frontrow! I absolutely love it and my students do, too. We've seen tremendous growth on our standardized tests with it in math as well. Enjoy your summer!
