Summary
Augmented reality is a new teaching device where students can learn through their phone or tablet. It's a new and exciting way to teach now. Students really like this process because it is real life materials in their hands that they are learning from and can actually get out of their seat and explore.One teacher describes how he has used the new technology to teach
students about different periods of war, by breaking parts up and having
them piece them together in order.
Opinion
I believe that augmented reality is an okay technique to teach children with. Yes, it is so great to be able to say, "Grab your phones for your lesson." But what if they're not doing what they're supposed to on their phone? What if they are playing candy crush or texting friends instead of listening to the lesson? If there was a way to control the temptation of social media and texting and games in the classroom, then I don't see a problem with this teaching technique at all.
