Aurasma

This app allows individuals to create and publish their own augmented reality experiences they call "Auras."

There are so many ways this app can be used in the classroom to showcase student work. This is just one idea. Imagine Parent Open Night and students have created nice colourful self portraits. Have parents try and guess which portrait belongs to their child. You can have them download the app onto their smart phone or use your iPads to find their child and then see and hear them giving a message such as thank you for coming or saying something about themselves. Parents and students love it, and so do I!!
