AUGMENTED REALITY APP KIT
“Using a screen to play a game or learn something isn't only one-dimensional anymore. With augmented and virtual reality apps, you can experience digital worlds in a new way. While virtual reality (or VR) requires a headset and plops you into an immersive world, augmented reality (or AR) is different: The screen acts as a way to enhance or add elements to the real world. Basically, your device's camera blends an image of your actual surroundings with a digital image so that they merge into one reality. Aside from providing entertainment, AR can help kids and adults learn science, simulate experiences, and bring books to life.” - commonsensemedia.org
Kits come with 10 iPads and chargers and 4 educational augmented reality apps. For assistance in teaching with the apps, please schedule a consult with your ETLS Digital Coach. Find your coach here.
