This recording of an OK2Ask online professional learning session from May 2018, opens in Adobe Connect. Wondering about Augmented Reality (AR)? You may have already used it and not even been aware. This session will explain both place-based and marker-based AR as it is used in our daily lives. We will then look at what this could mean in our classrooms through interacting with markers and using mobile devices. Come learn about tools and apps that can create engaging experiences for your students. Participants will: 1. Understand what Augmented Reality (AR) is and the difference between place-based and marker-based AR; 2. Explore a tool to create Augmented Reality experiences in the classroom; and 3. Plan for the instructional use of Augmented Reality. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.
