Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that it's rapidly entering in the Science classes. With this course a brief introduction to the possibilities AR offers are showed. From a simple enrichment of our documents with videos or 3D models until the design of inquiry experiences where our students will be the main characters is proposed.
The course study the possibilities of using LAYAR and AURASMA in our lessons, and later SKETCHUP with the plugin of AR-Media to design our own 3D Models with AR.
