I have been playing around with augmented reality for a few months. We are at the beginning of AR possibilities and future developments will be exciting. As much fun as I have had with it, I have wondered how it could be used in the classroom.
While at the Slide2Learn conference in July, I attended a workshop on AR facilitated by Nathan Jones. Jones talked about how he uses AR in the classroom with his students. Using AR to spark ideas for story-writing was one of the ideas he shared.
The Amazing Spider-man AR is a great app for Spiderman lovers. By downloading the free app from the App store, and printing the series of free markers from the site, users can shoot spiderman's web, swing across buildings, capture baddies and climb brick walls. Lots of ideas for story starters here. I can see that reluctant writers could be drawn in to story writing this way.
