Session description

Looking to integrate exciting technology into your classroom, school or district? Augmented reality (AR) can be a highly effective resource, especially the right strategic plan. We will review the basics of AR while exploring simple, yet spectacular tools.

Purpose & objective

Jumping into immersive technology can be exciting, but without proper preparation, the most engaging lessons can be a complete failure. There are no guarantees that any planning will avoid potential problems, but it should help minimize potential pitfalls and improve the effectiveness of your augmented lessons.
The tools are easy to implement with a minimal learning curve. Access and use will be simple for any classroom teacher to use. Access to multiple resources will be available at ARVRinEDU.com.
