A NEW TOOL FOR EDUCATION: AUGMENTED REALITY (AR)

Augmented reality (AR) provides an environment that creates a realistic simulation for users via some visual elements and it enhances or changes the real world via these virtual elements.  This technology can be used every part of education, such as biology, chemistry, math, physics, and foreign language education to help learners in a learning process and enhance their creativity. The reason is that realistic simulation enhances the tools and activate students’ brain which affects their learning process in a good way. In other words, they will learn more effectively thanks to AR technology compared to the old one. 

Old techniques, such as textbooks, role-plays, videos, and others can enhance learner’s interaction with each other but these techniques have limitations in foreign language education. The reason is that these old techniques do not provide effective and meaningful activities or context. Thanks to AR, they can explore and experience the use of language in real-life conversations and activities. Everyone should be aware that language needs more practice to comprehend a language. With AR, they can practice real-life conversation and they can discuss what they have experienced which help them to speak well.

 There are some apps or websites that can provide AR technology, such as Augment and HP reveal. With these apps, I can create effective and attractive activities or games which will make my students more successful and motivated.

Here is an example for AR from Augment website; https://agmt.it/m/SAJYEFCW

 

 

Firstly, You should downland Augment app to scan the codes. Secondly, click and scan the code like I did, then you will see the dancing shark in your phone. 

 

HP Reveal is another app that provides AR. You should download HP Reveal app to scan pictures and to create your own reality.

 

 

 

Here are my videos of the Augmented Reality, it is so fun to use it.

Do not forget! Augmented reality is a living tool,    we can do things beyond what we think.
