Hey Misti! I was very interested in your video concerning AR. I had never heard of this technology before and did not realize that this is what 3D imaging was about. The possibilities are incredible for the use of AR!! We could add to your examples with even something like the different fields of engineering and architecture. I imagine using CAD would be an example of AR. It seems as though all areas of educational technology and distance education are concerned with security. We need to be aware of what our students are accessing.
Thanks for your reply Lesa, and great points! The options for AR are endless, and the more I learn about it the more my mind wanders. I am constantly thinking about how it could be beneficial in almost, well anything. Lately, I have been pondering how easy and almost effortlessly it could become to diagnose car problems from home using AR technology, and how much money it could save me (added bonus!).
The options are endless, but to get started I think it would be very interesting in my Algebra I courses to use a developed AR simulation when learning about linear equations, specially slope. Imagine information being transposed in a real time on a students’ mobile device in order to help them calculate the slope of a ramp, the roof of building, or even mountainside. I can just picture how engaged the students would be…In Algebra II students could benefit from an AR simulation when graphing higher degree polynomial functions (i.e., quadratic, cubic, quartic, etc.).
I am excited to study and research AR in its infancy, and I am even more excited to watch it grow (and hopefully catch fire like the computers, internet, and smartphones did). It may take many years to fully develop within the educational field, but I think AR is going to be a huge hit.

DeleteHI Misty,
ReplyDeleteGreat thinking here! How might you use AR in your instruction?
