Augmented reality–a technology that uses a trigger image to superimpose digital content over a user’s view of the real world–is growing in popularity and accessibility, and it holds a wealth of potential for education.
Often described as “QR codes on steroids,” the technology offers new and exciting ways for students to interact with lessons, said Jeff Peterson, an instructional technologist in the Lamar Consolidated ISD in Texas. Peterson presented a TCEA 2017 session on augmented reality’s application in classrooms.
Augmented reality-based apps infuse more engagement into learning exercises, and students often grasp complex concepts quickly with interactive content, said Peterson, referencing Drew Minock, an advocate for augmented reality in the classroom and outreach manager at augmented reality company Daqri.

Face à l'arrivée du numérique, les enseignants ont besoin de développer de nouvelles compétences. Au niveau international et national, plusieurs cadres, des outils d'auto-évaluation et programmes de formation ont été développés pour décrire les facettes des compétences des enseignants avec des aides pour évaluer leurs compétences, identifier leurs besoins de formation et offrir une formation ciblée. Analysant et regroupant ces instruments, ce rapport présente un cadre européen commun pour la compétence numérique des éducateurs (DigCompEdu). DigCompEdu est un cadre de référence scientifiquement mis en place et qui qui aide à orienter les politiques et peut être directement adapté à la mise en œuvre d'outils et de programmes de formation régionaux et nationaux. Le cadre "DigCompEdu" européen s'adresse aux enseignants à tous les niveaux de l'éducation, de la petite enfance à l'éducation supérieure et à l'éducation des adultes, y compris la formation générale et professionnelle.

Organization is a critical academic skill and one that many students struggle with in both the physical and digital worlds. Parents and teachers already help students get organized and now need to extend that to the digital world. Given the influx of technology in their academic lives, students need to develop an effective organizational system for their digital notes, projects and thinking.
