"On Friday, the second graders had a blast exploring the Augmented Reality app called Chromville. To use this free app, you must first print and color out the special pages from the Chromville website (link below). Currently there are 6 pages - I chose the page that lets you create a character because of the creative possibilities that it offered. Students designed and colored their character during the week and came with the completed sheets to technology class."

"One thing young children are not lacking in is imagination. They have no trouble pretending, playing make believe and suspending reality. We've recently crossed over into the augmented reality arena. Augmented Reality (AR) allows for a digitally enhanced view of the real world. It allows the user to open or create layers of digital information on top of the physical world that can be viewed through a mobile device. I've talked about our first foray in AR with Aurasma app here. Aurasma is a great tool, and now my student's are using the Chromville app to create in their own Augmented Reality worlds."
