Hi everyone! This is Kristen from Teacher Playground. Today I found a site called Room Recess that I really love. It is so interactive and fun! I also love the sound effects for each game. I am sure you and your students will enjoy the it. This site is geared towards K-5th grade and has lots of interactive educational games to utilize.

Augmented Reality

Friday, February 21, 2014 No comments

Augmented reality allows a person to add another layer to an existing image.  To put this into perspecitve, imagine holding your phone over a poster that is on the wall as if you were going to take snap a photo of that poster. Once you do that then instantly a video starts playing that offers you additional information about what is on that poster. It is very magical!!! I love it = )

There are so many great uses for SoundGecko in the classroom. It is a great way to differentiate learning in your classroom and meet the needs of all your learners.
