(via YouTube by ronfellows2020)Texas Elementary School Uses Augmented Reality App to Create a Permanent Digital Learning Experience.
Budget cuts have resulted in fewer student field trips being funded. To combat this shortfall Heritage Elementary School in Highland Village, Texas, asked the Elm Fork Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists to create a permanent digital doorway to nature for its students utilizing a free downloadable, augmented reality app called Aurasma Lite.
With an investment of less than $50 the Master Naturalists created an 80ft interactive wall display that brings an engaging field trip-like experience to the children using smartphones and tablets. Adjacent to the displays, Heritage Elementary School also has a teaching garden representing the 10 ecological zones of Texas enhancing the link between the natural world and the digital world.
