Top 5 ways to use Augmented Reality in Education

Johnny Kissko wrote to tell me about a series of postings he is writing on the top 5 ways to use augmented reality in education.  Although this is aimed at K-12 education I thought I would share it with you as it is interesting reading!

Here are the postings so far

1. Second Life [mobile learning]
2. iPhone AR Apps
3. Xbox 360 Kinect
4. Toozla

Johnny's blog is K-12 Mobile Learning

Interesting stuff, but most are virtual reality and not augmented... augmented just adds a layer to the real world, providing info, such as through the camera on the iPhone. You're fully immersed in virtual worlds like second life. Nice list to check out none the less!

Hi Jane (and readers)

If you wanted to take a look at a real expert in this space - check out a colleague of mine - Dr Karl Kapp a professor at Bloomsberg, PA.

You can find his blog which has recently moved at:

Best wishes,
Mark

Mark, thanks, yes of course Karl is an acknowledged expert in this area, but it's nice to give other people and their blogs some exposure too, isn't it?
