Augmented Reality in Education

AR Zoo: Augmented Reality Zoo Animals 3D Photos

This app could be utilized by all grade levels of school age children.
I am a Kindergarten teacher which requires me to teach all academic subjects.
These subjects consists of English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies,
Visual Arts,  and Health.  I would use this app in the following ways across
all academic subjects.

English Language Arts

Alabama College and Career Readiness Standard :
W.K.2 requires students to use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative or explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic.
Activity:
Create an informative or explanatory text regarding the characters in the picture.

Math

Alabama College and Career Readiness Standard :
K.OA.1 requires students to represent addition and subtraction
sentences with drawings or pictures.
Activity:
Write an addition sentence that matches the picture. Examle: 1 baby + 1 jaguar = 2 

Science

Alabama College and Career Readiness Standard :
ACOS.K.3 requires students to distinguish between living
and nonliving things and the basic needs that must be
met for them to survive.
Activity:
Compare/Contrast living and nonliving things in the photograph.
Compare/Contrast basic needs of baby and jaguar

Social Studies

Alabama College and Career Readiness Standard :
ACOS. K.10 requires students to use vocabulary related to giving and following
and following directions.
Activity:
Where is it?/ Quess Who? - Students use position words to find an object in the photograph.

Visual Arts

Alabama College and Career Readiness Standard :
V. K.11 requires students to distinguish between images and real objects.

Activity:

Compare Contrast images vs real objects - Students use Venn diagram to
determine what  characteristics the image and real object have that are
the same and different. 

Health

Alabama College and Career Readiness Standard :
H. K.8 requires students to list behaviors that promote personal safety.

Activity:

What Would You do?- students will list unsafe behavior of the baby in the photograph. They will then list what should be done to return the setting of the photograph back to a safe living environment for the baby.

Closing

I would encourage students to interact more with the photograph by writing text to assist in meeting the completion of the academic standard.  Some standards require lists, equations, collaboration in small group, or the publication of a document.
