Session description
Pokémon Go and Ready Player One have primed your students for the interactive immersive future, but as a teacher I realized existing static learning materials don't cut it. I'll get you started with apps that enable you to bring teaching to life with AR in seconds, no experience needed.
Purpose & objective
I intend for the audience to walk away with two main points: 1. that there is a compelling reason for them to right away explore how AR can enhance their classrooms, and 2. that new tools such as Halo AR make it easier than ever before for them to start this exploration on their own within minutes, with no technical experience required and at no expense.
