Mrs. Grave’s class explored the app Spacecraft 3D while studying the solar system. They had a blast landing NASA spacecraft in the classroom (thanks to Augmented Reality).

TED Talk: Matt Mills Talks about Augmented Reality
Love this explanation of Augmented Reality, specifically with Aurasma!
Bringing Famous Virginians and Documents to Life
Mrs. Mulvaney’s VA Studies class created virtual reality posters to convey key information about Famous Virgnians and Famous Documents. They used a lot of technology to create these posters. They used Pic Collage on the iPads to create the actual poster and green screen technology to place themselves in a historical setting. The entire project is pulled together using an app called Aurasma. If you download the app, follow the Oak Grove Channel, and scan the posters, they will come to life with the students’ videos. Here are directions on how to load the app.

And just in case you can’t make it to Oak Grove to scan the posters in person, here are their videos below:
