Augmented Reality Snags a Coveted Spot in Classrooms (Blog #16)

It is about giving you more information on the information you are studying. How cool?  "Augmented reality uses technology to blend the real world with interactive and enhanced content."  Since there is an increase in the usage of mobile devices and augmented reality apps, it is becoming more and more common for them to be used in K-12 classrooms.  These apps allow students to use their creativity, explore, and think critically into their own learning.
     This was one of the hardest articles to write about only because I have never heard of augmented reality apps before.  They sound very efficient though!  I would like to learn more about it and use it in my classroom in the future.  The students in Theresa McGee's classroom seem to really enjoy using the smart devices and apps to learn.  If you can get students excited about learning, then you are doing a good job as a teacher.  It can be used for professional development purposes for my future as well.
