Emerging technology project: what new technology would be beneficial in the classroom?

Main focus - Aurasma
Presentation - Haiku Deck

Try 1 or 2 per semester if you are already pretty tech savvy, but integration into lessons creates challenges in addition to simple use.

Allow your students time to learn, adjust, and integrate new tech into the classroom for you. They are familiar and willing (and they think they are getting out of work instead of into it which is your plan)!

Twitter - follow edutopia, huffington post education, news or media outlets you already read, educ journals in your content or level, Diane ravitch, will Richardson, Heidi Hayes Jacobs, edsocialmedia, etc

Blogs - there are about a million (+) but you can check out one and usually they link to other bloggers they like. Start with timbedley.com or angelamaiers.com or Classroom 2.0 or dangerously irrelevant

Watch Aurasma in action:

So this was my first attempt after just downloading the app.

It is pretty simple to learn and use once you get the lingo and menu options. You can go to Aurasma Studio on your desktop to create Auras with more complex features.

Free at the iphone App Store and google play

Follow bonniestanford; hold the viewfinder up to the picture on the slide; watch CegNinja on your own device

Follow Aurasma on YouTube, twitter, Facebook, or Pinterest - also search educator and classroom uses - www.aurasma.com

I use it on my iPhone, iPad, and desktop but it is android compatible too.

Aurasma can be integrated with programs you and/or your students are already familiar such as educreations, explain everything, animoto, jotnot, live binders, three ring, etc
