Augmented Reality Inspires Creative Writing

Tablets can be used in many ways in the classroom and it can be hard to encourage the children's writing by hand when using technology. A Great resource I have found comes in the form of a free APP called "Aurasma" which is available on both Ios and Android for free.

Aurasma is an augmented reality APP that allows you to overlay moving 3d videos on top of objects or documents in your class room. I used this APP within a literacy unit where the children were studying the book "The whale's song." during the unit of work I asked the children to draw a picture of the island from the story and add all the relevant parts of the story; the jetty and Grandma's house. Using Aurasma I was able to then overlay a video of a pirate ship, full of pirates, sailing around their island. Now when the children looked at their own drawings through the tablets camera their pictures were brought to life. The children were then inspired to write a piece of creative writing that involved pirates invading the island and meeting the characters from the story. I have never seen the children so fired up by an activity and they had absolutely no idea how it worked! It was magic!
