Augmented Reality Modules
This course is a practicum that uses a new Apple Teacher curriculum built around 9 freely available AR apps for the iPhone and iPad. Students learn to design lessons incorporating AR across the full range of PK-16 content.
Module 8: 3DBear App
3DBear is a storytelling app that allows students to tell an original story in their own surroundings by combining shapes, characters, and other kinds of 3D models. As the Apple Teacher explains, the 3DBear app includes tutorials, lesson plans, and challenges to support bringing context and design thinking into your learning environment.
