We live in a globalized world where children have to learn to tolerate and respect differences.
We decided to work with historical monuments because we believe that they are a source of expression that stores a lot of culture and that can tell us a lot about the history of a place. In this project we decided to work with art because through art, children learn competencies linked to the development of multiple intelligences such as: linguistic, spatial, musical, logical-mathematical through the musical field and stimulate creative thinking.
The children chose their favorite historical monument and made a replica through a work of art created by them. They justified the reason for their choice and reflected on the importance of respecting the culture of other countries and respecting diversity.
Then, they made their artwork in augmented reality and were able to create a small evidence room, where they shared with their classmates the importance of cultural diversity and respecting others.
We add the part of creating a story for them to ground their learning process by putting together all of what they earned and getting to express themselves in a complementary way.
They talked about how much they learned about other cultures through their historical monuments and learned a lot about how much we can express through art and sharing their stories and creations with their friends.
The main purposes of this presentation are:
To share with the audience what they learned about respecting cultural diversity through their own AR pieces of art.
Share their learning process, what they learned, what they liked the most, what they enjoyed and the challenges they faced.
How they used art, storytelling and augmented reality to learn about a topic.
Students will share with the audience their experience, how they built them, what they liked the most, what they learned, the challenges they faced and their learning process. The audience will be able to participate by listening to them and interacting with their physical and AR creations, asking questions to broaden the perspective of the project and sharing ideas to leverage the experience and learning.
Time - each participant will be able to stay as long as they want in the stand, but kids will take about 5-10 minutes explaining how they build the project, the challenges, what they liked the most, sharing ideas and talking about what they learned.
