Week Eight Reflection

This week we dug into augmented reality.  To be honest this is the area of content for this class that I know the least about.  When looking for a tool or app to profile on Yammer I was a bit overwhelmed.  I hadn't realized that those silly "what your walls will look like this color" apps at IKEA and Home Depot were considered AR.

I did find a pretty cool app that I would actually use in my classroom.  We have just finished studying the body systems in health and that Anatomy 4D app would have been pretty awesome to use as a supplement to our unit.

My Guild also did a group project on distance learning.  I wasn't very involved in this project because I attended three funerals that week.  Was a tough week and I am thankful that my group is so supportive!  All of that aside, I am a fan of distance learning.  I have completed several courses through Coursera over the past few years.  I am too cheap to pay for their certificates so I don't get any CEU's for them but they were worth it anyway.

We also did a visual creation project as a group.  We chose to use GoAnimate for this.  It is a fun animation app that has a lot of cool, relatively easy, things you can do with it.  You do need to buy a subscription if you want full functionality - we didn't so we were a bit limited.
