Created by karenh on May 5th, 2010 karenh describes this book as: "A little bit about augmented reality" Tags: Augmented Reality 3D Education wiki This site has a ZooBurst book video that discusses augmented reality. It is connected to our review of apps for exploration, creation, and augmented reality in the classroomm. This is a nice example of a ZooBurst book for anyone who is unfamiliar with this storytelling tool. Dawn LeComte: exploration, augmented reality, cross curricular, connection

This teacher blog categorizes apps for the iPad by subject area in the elementary school. SIG 1 context: mobile devices, iPad and apps for exploration/ creation ***Rachel you might want to view her listing of apps for creation****

This teacher blog reviews 47 apps for for math at the elementary level. Great resource for locating apps. SIG 1 Context: apps, mobile devices, iPads

This video features a elementary math teacher who uses math apps on the iPad to collaborate with parents in regards to new math textbook adoption. Great idea for collaborating and connecting with parents. This video also shows a child who is autistic benefiting from the iPad. I do not recommend this video for sharing because it starts out with a Pantene commercial and then continues to be blurry. However, the idea of using the iPad and apps to connect and communicate with parents a new math curriculum is an innovative use of this technology.

Short video featuring 1st grade students using iPads for learning. This is about a 3 minute video showcasing students using apps for reading, spelling, writing, geography and math. The end of the video lists the app name. This is useful for anyone teaching in the primary grades. SIG 1 Context: mobile devices, iPad, apps, exploration

This is a good example of a school which formerly banned mobile devices utilizing smartphones in a pilot program in 5th grade math/science classroom. Lessons otherwise traditionally done in paper and pencil were carried out integrating the mobile devices. Looking to start your own pilot program? This school got new cell phones from HTC, a cell phone manufacturer and free connectivity from Verizon. SIG1 context: teacher discusses benefits, exploration, mobility, connection, cross-curricular

This web page provides a video tutorial for implementing augmented reality in math education to promote an engaging, relevant, and low cost solution to content. It also points to low test scores in geometry which might be improved upon through Google Sketchup. This is valuable as a means to address student needs for exploration in all areas specifically Geometry. SIG1Context: augmented reality, connection, cross curricular,

This article describes a Buffalo Hunt simulation using mobile devices with elementary students to meet state standards along with other examples. While research at this point is only antecdotal for most mobile device implementation, this article shows a 10% and 20% increase in math test scores in a N. Carolina school. This information is valuable as we evaluate the effects of mobile devices on learning. Further research needs to be done to assess whether this increase in math scores is due to content access provided by mobile devices or increased collaboration and connection with the classroom teacher.

This site by the Department of Education and Early Child Development in Victoria outlines iPad lesson ideas by content and is a good reference for iPad implementation. SIG1 Focus: mobile devices, iPad

This slideshow presents different ways augmented reality can benefit student learning. It further outlines why we should be using augmented reality in education to connect, engage, provide authentic learning experiences, and address multiple intelligences. This is valuable as a convincing argument of how and why we should be using augmented reality in education.

"If you are planning on buying multiple iPads for your school you need to do a bit of planning around the management, administration and pedagogical integration of the iPad in your classroom. There are also important issues around licencing of apps." This blog also includes links other valuable sites providing information on iPads in the classroom, iPads today, iPads in education, app reviews, apps outlined by curriculum. This is a wonderful resource for any school or educator thinking about getting "on board" and integrating iPads into the curriculum. The most valuable resource here was the spreadsheet outlining apps by grade, age, cost, and curricular area. SIG1Context: mobility, iPads, apps, cross curricular,

A fantastic free Google product that gives you direct access to real world statistics. It plots graphs of the data for you and even animates the graphs to show how they change through time.

A blog that reviews apps and more importantly gives ideas for actual integration and implementation. On the right side bar, notice that you can search for blog posts based on Bloom's Taxonomy, device type, and subject. We can particularly use the Create, Apply, and Analyze sections of Bloom's for the "creation" and "exploration" pieces of our presentation.
