Aurasma- Book Reviews

If you have not yet seen Aurasma, it is an app that shows augmented reality. It is similar to a QR code scanner, except instead of scanning codes, you scan items. For example, I just started to use this with my LA class to do short book reviews. When you scan the item, a purple swirl appears, then the attached video or picture.

The students send me a short review (written or video) and a picture of their book through showbie and I upload each book review. I upload the reviews to a channel, which I have created. Each student needs to have the app and they need to follow my channel in order to see the Auras that have been posted. I post all student work to my channel to make it easier so they don't have to follow twenty or more channels.

I am also, testing a new project with their short stories and they are going to make them into a digital story using Aurasma. They will have one central picture, and when you scan a particular area, you will be able to hear/see the story unfold. In my sample of the "Three little Pigs", if you scan each section using aurasma, you will hear the story unfold before you. 

To see our class Auras follow Mrs.Sproll (channel on Aurasma), or come see me for help setting it up!
