Why did we choose AR Create?
With several years of experience of designing and teaching Day of Code activities, DHS Programming Club had several goals: effectively teach some basic coding, show students a cool and unique aspect of computer science they may not be familiar with, and engage them in this learning by allowing them to be creative. We also had the requirement of finding something that would work on the iPads in order to fully take advantage of the school’s 1:1 program. AR Create checked all of these boxes, making it the perfect subject app for our first school-wide HOC activity.
Why learn AR?
AR is a unique ability of our iPads as opposed to traditional ‘PCs’. AR has many applications in the classroom, which can be utilized by apps like Google Expeditions, which has a wide range of models to allow your students a unique, hands-on visual experience in almost any subject area, AR Sandbox, which allows for the simulation of erosion, HP Reveal, which allows the sharing of AR models, and AR Makr, which allows you to create a wide range of models.
