Week 5- Augmented Learning

Link to flashcards for use with Aurasma

I had a lot of fun playing around with different augmented reality apps and programs this week. I had to remind myself to focus and finish my own work because I was spending so much time playing around with other inventive designs. I had my five children completely engaged in creating their own secret messages and fun activities. I truly believe this can be an exciting technology for all ages and tech levels. The lesson plan that I created is for use as a model for my higher level students who take one of my service learning courses. They go into a local elementary and teach ASL to K-6th grade. I put together a simple lesson plan for teaching the Alphabet in ASL. My 12 year old daughter helped with the videos. This is an activity that elementary students could do at home to practice the skills they are taught in their classroom by my students. I linked 26 flashcards (linked above) to short video demonstrations of each letter and the accompanying sign. I believe this is a technology that my students will love and will find very applicable to what they are doing in their respective classrooms.

  1. Cheryl, I like how you used Aurasma to enhance flashcards for your students. I am sure they would be very excited to use technology like this. I had a lot of fun playing around with Aurasma too, it really brings things to life! - Ronald

  2. Cheryl,

    These flashcards that you created are outstanding! Especially for a first grade classroom. They are informative, colorful, and bring the lesson to the students and make it more lively. What also helps is that they can use this technology at home as well and continue practicing at home which will go a long way in their learning development. Nice job.
