Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

The objective of the session is providing training on a highly requested tool. The Merge Cube certainly captures the WOW, but beyond that, educators are looking for ways to implement augmented reality effectively. The session will focus on the what, how and why of immersive technology, primarily focused on the Merge Cube.
An additional focus of ARKit will be explained to demonstrate the latest software development tool that is supercharging our mobile devices with augmented reality.
The evidence of success will be shown in the final products created and displayed on social media.

Outline

The session will begin with an introduction to Merge Cubes. All participants will receive a cube to keep and participate in the session.
A QR code sheet will be available, and attendees will see my demo of the tools, while given the opportunity to download the iOS or Android app.
The session will allow attendees an option to CREATE content for the cube.
Determine ways that the tools are relevant to their content area and how to properly implement the AR resource.
The final activity will be creating AR in the cube and sharing the experiences.
