Summary:
This article explores the world of technology as a new and exciting way for students to learn and be connected. Augmented reality is a program that can bring learning to life through the use of a phone or tablet device. Students can feel like they are living what they're learning, and it is quickly being moved in to classrooms. 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. Students are getting out of their seats and becoming more interested in learning with this new technology.
Opinion:
I think that we need to be careful about how much emphasis on technology we put in to the hands of students. The idea of augmented reality is a wonderful one, I think that students will be more interested in learning with something like this, but it will only benefit them in moderation. When you use a kind of technology too much, it becomes mundane and students become uninterested. We as a cultured have learned to always look for new things in technology and explore possibilities. The important thing is that we do not forget the art of writing with a pen and pencil, and taking students on field trips.
