Makr AR is an application that enables students and teachers to add digital images into the space around. The program provides a number of ways in which to modify their environment and includes the ability to record audio over digitally created scenes. The combination of the Keynote app and Makr AR gives students and teachers endless ways to present stories, ideas, and lessons in a fun and interactive way. Best of all, both apps are completely free to download!
Bring your stories to life!
Through this program, students are able incorporate various images into a real-world environment. They can customize their surroundings to suit the needs of their current project!
Interactive storytelling through imbedded imagery and digital voice recording.
Rather than simply writing the story on paper and drawing the corresponding images, students can instead create 3D images, import them into the real-world, and record their story while simultaneously taking the listener on a journey through their story.
Explore different subjects in a "real-world" environment.
"Constructing personally relevant artifacts and objects builds upon the rich variety of ideas that students bring to class, encourages multiple representations of knowledge, and spurs students to share, add, refine, and restructure their ideas." (Brennan & Resnick, 2013)
