Never Forget.... Oklahoma City Memorial

Twenty years ago on April 19th at 9:03 a.m. the nation we knew was altered forever. I was 19 at that time and was attending college while working in a photo studio. When I heard the news I was devastated. It really hit home since I grew up and was currently living in the community where some of the materials for the bomb were purchased.

Recently I had the honor of visiting the memorial that is located where the bomb had went off that devastated our nation and brought us together at the same time. When you stand in the presence of the chairs that represent the lives lost your heart just stops. Especially when you are near the smaller ones.

A teacher friend of mine was teaching her class about the memorial in Oklahoma City and asked me if there was any way I can do a little magic and create an augmented experience for the memorial. I found a video created from a drone that gives you a different prospective of the memorial along with a little history. I paired the video up with one of the pictures I had taken while I was visiting the memorial and the teacher added it to her bulletin board. When the kids scan the image the video will overlay the printed image and play.

How to Activate the Video:

You can find the image in the teacher community (Teach Connect) of . My next goal will be to visit the memorial again and create a 360° environment of it.

ART CLUB T-Shirt #2

# data[].attributes.body
The original design printed on the back of our T-shirts might not trigger since it will be altered by the student's autographs...or will their names cause any problems? (Note: This design doesn't have our colors added yet.) Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to use this for multiple triggers?

Each art club member created a design for the chance of it being selected for this year's T-Shirt design. My goal is to use this winning design as a trigger image using augmented reality.

Eagle's View .... Augmented Eagle Nests

My daughter's kindergarten class is currently hatching chicks. She had sweet talked her dad and grandpa into buying chicks so she can watch them grow up on the family farm. Her little project got me thinking about having a birds eye view of a nest and how I could incorporate augmented reality.

When we go on vacation we try to make it educational for the entire family, we visit national parks, museums and etc... A few years ago we went to Yellow Stone National Park, and I just happened to be at the right place at the right time and snapped this picture of a Bald Eagle. Thinking about my daughter and her love to watch baby animals, I thought how cool would it be to peek into a Bald Eagle's nest via an augmented trigger. A augmented trigger would be easier for younger kids to use and peek into a next rather trying to look up a web address.

My plan was to embed a live web cam as the augmented element. To my surprise the Aug That team embedded several live web cams, so my daughter and her class can see into multiple eagles nest. When you use Aug That's "Supreme Tutoring Augmented Reality" (STAR) app and scan different areas of the image you will get a different live web cam of an eagle's nest to look at.

The App you will need to use for this project is Aug That's "Supreme Tutoring Augmented Reality"(STAR). The app is available in both the Apple App store and the Google Play store. Aug That is developing a teacher community called Teach Connect where teachers can share their augmented lessons they have created in a safe secure environment. There is no channel to follow, no password to enter, and no other content will appear on your augmented triggers when using their platform. What teachers like about this community other than we can share content and it is safe, is they don't have to build it. All they have to do is send the trigger image they want to use along with the AR element and the team at Aug That will put it together for you. The team does approve all trigger images and content, so that you know that everything in the community is safe for kids and is educational. This does take some time for the team to go through all the requests, so give them a day or two.

How to Bring the Above Image Alive:

Download the Supreme Tutoring Augmented Reality. Pick the app store you need.

Launch the app. Click "Start Lesson"

Click "Teach Connect"

Scan part of the image. (The corner area.)

Scan another part of the image. (repeat)

Scan the entire image.

Kid's On Strike - Augmented Jigsaw Puzzle

A 6th grade Language Arts teacher friend of mine is teaching a literacy unit on the book "Kids' On Strike", by Susan Campbell Bartoletti. She is using the lesson plan from Building America and asked me if there was any way I could incorporate augmented reality (a.k.a. AR) into the lesson. My answer was of course I can do that. I studied the lesson plan, read the book, and then dove right into how could I incorporate augmented reality into this topic.

Knowing my teacher friend was wanting to do a Jigsaw approach to this unit I decided that was the approach I needed to use to incorporate AR into the unit. The book has 8 chapters that talk about the different types of strikes that had happened in the late 1800's and early 1900's. I found an image to represent each chapter. Each image was then divided into 4th's. The idea is for each member of the small group that is learning about a certain chapter would get a piece of the image. When each piece is scanned an augmented element would appear. When all the pieces are put together a 5th augmented element would appear. Giving the experience a jigsaw feel.

The goal of the project is for each small group to be responsible for learning the content of the chapter assigned to them and to share what they have learned with their base group, learning the pieces to make the whole approach. Within the small group each person is responsible to become the expert of the content that is embedded in their piece of their photo. Above is one of the images that was used for this project. If you print and cut the image into 4th's you will experience the augmented elements I have embedded into the image, or you just scan parts of the image. One of the augmented elements is to take you to a Padlet board I created for this project. Each image has it's own Padlet board. This board will be where the students hold their discussions and to share what they have learned about that certain chapter.

The App you will need to use for this project is Aug That's "Supreme Tutoring Augmented Reality" (STAR). The app is available in both the Apple App store and the Google Play store. Aug That is developing a teacher community called Teach Connect where teachers can share their augmented lessons they have created in a safe secure environment.

Excellent challenge, challenge. Four groups, in pairs create a trigger to highlight the issue of bullying using

1. An image from the internet

2. A Drawing

3. A graphic designed image

The three groups must have a storyboard, be interviewed via video camera and upload all material onto AR platform

The fourth group is the media team that records the event by taking pictures, video each group, writing about the issue and how each team works and create an interactive pdf via Joomag.

The winner was the drawing as they gave a personal account via a video on the effects of bullying.
