HOW TO USE AURASMA IN CLASSROOM
Aurasma is an augmented reality application that allows you to
overlay any video or image on top of anything that your tablet, cell phone, or
any other mobile device can scan with its camera. Using Aurasma is very much
like using a QR code reader. In order to activate the overlayed image or video,
the object will be scanned using the Aurasma app. Joseph covered
using Aurasma in our iPad Appy Hour Webinar. Many of the demos you will see
on the Aurasma site are for advertising but you can use these skills in a
number of fun and exciting ways.
1. Interactive Word Walls
As your students are learning new vocabulary, you may try
a number of different techniques for teaching these new words from comparing
synonyms, analogies, etc. If you wanted to use visuals or have students “act
out” the definition of words you can display the words and create an “aura”
which will make Aurasma react and play the photo or video that you created.
2. Labeling of diagrams
Do you have that key poster or picture that you have on
the wall, but when you give your students a test, they always check it for the
answers to certain questions? Using Aurasma, you can have students use the app
to identify key information when they study the picture but keep the answers
away when it comes to testing.
3. An interactive journal or newspaper article
Have you ever seen the “Daily Prophet” from the Harry
Potter movies or photos in an article of written text that play a video as you
read it? Students can record anything using their mobile device’s camera, take
a screenshot to place in a writing piece and then Aurasma can make that section
come alive.
4. Classroom Rules
From younger to older grades, every classroom has
established rules. Aurasma can allow you to have students create skits or
display ways in which the rules are followed in the classroom. Other ideas are
to show proper lab procedure, the way your classroom should be left at the end
of the day, or how to properly care for classroom pets.
5. Parent Involvement
Since most of us carry a mobile device of some sort, have
parents create words of encouragement to help students as they are having
difficulty with certain subject matter use a video as a “pick-me-up
