Show Me What You Learned using Green Screening, Augmented Reality, Paper Slides and Scavenger Hunts

UNCC STEM Conference in January, I presented how students can share what they have learned in some innovative ways that I have learned through Discovery Education.

The first is Paper Slide Videos, a method I learned from Dr. Lodge McCammon.  It is one of many Spotlight on Strategies (SOS) you can find in Discovery Education.  Paper Slides is a quick and easy method for students to share content in a collaborative group for all grade levels.

Another favorite of mine is using Augmented Reality.  Augmented Reality is a hidden QR code inside images/drawings that can launch most anything including images, videos, websites, using either a tablet or smart phone.  It is a great way for students to generate a writing piece that is augmented to support their learning through digital media.

In class, we created interactive word walls, timelines, student biographies, study guides and more.

Aurasma is a popular choice for many educators due to its ease of use and it being free.

Below are videos to create your own.  For the full experience, create your account FIRST in Aurasma Studio and login to that account in your phone/tablet.  That way you do not need to bother with creating channels and whatever you create either through your device or studio will be in the same channel.
