As with most technology, I start using it at home with my own two children. I began using Aurasma to help Jacob with his reading. Though he is not yet a fluent reader, I did want to build his confidence. He lights up when he feels more independent with texts. So, I made brief videos previewing the sight words in his books. Then, I applied those videos on top of trigger images, the book covers. Now, when Jacob gets a book, he holds the iPhone above the book, and my video starts playing. He watches this and gets to see the words while I say them aloud. I pause during the video for an "I Say - You Say" segment. He actually says the words right along with the video. It's so cute.
