GoQR.me Input text or URL. Choose size. Select “open.” Then right-click (control+click) to copy-paste.

For presentations, choose at least 500x500.

For handouts, 125x125 to 200x200 is good.

For a flyer, biggest is best.

Leave white space around the QRcode.

GoQR.me Input text or URL. Choose size. Select “open.” Then copy-paste.

For the audio ones, use http://qrvoice.net/ Add the text in “say what?”. Click the QR button. Slide to choose the size.

Augmented Reality

ColAR App

You need 2 parts!

App Pages

Print out the coloring pages from http://www.colARApp.com

You do the pages first.

Pages

Print out the coloring pages from http://www.colARApp.com

1.  Color  the  page(s).  2.  You  can  print  out  all  

of  the  coloring  pages,  but  you  can’t  scan  them  all  unless  you  pay  for  the  upgrade.  

Then you use the app.

App

Print out the coloring pages from http://www.colARApp.com

1.  Choose  “Play”  in  the  app.  

2. Make  sure  you  can  see  the  whole  page  with  your  camera.

ColAR App Tips

1.  Yes, it’s gimmicky. But it’s fun! 2.  Anything you put on the open spaces (front/

back of mouse, flag of the plane, etc.) of the coloring sheet will show up in the animation.

3.  So, you can do math practice, etc. to have students show their answers. It could be fun homework.

4.  You can’t make the pages yourself. L

Aurasma

On your iPad / iPhone / iPod, launch Aurasma. It should look like this

picture.

Swipe past the tutorial till you get to the login

screen. Then choose “Skip” at

the bottom.

Look for the 4 corners & the “A” at the

bottom. Now we’re ready to

scan!

Now, position the camera over the image above. It will “swirl” & your aura will start playing.

Try scanning this one.

Let’s try a little curricular content now.

So how do you make ’em?

Here’s a really great step-by-step handout: http://ipad4schools.org/2013/09/28/bring-schools-to-

life-with-aurasma-app/

To create my question & answer, I used Powerpoint, making 2 slides. Then did screen captures & emailed them to myself on my mobile device with Aurasma.

Great example in Science Classroom: http://smithsciencegms.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/

It’s #4 near India & Saudia

Arabia.

AurasmaTips

1.  It’s easiest when everything is done on one device (overlays & targets).

2.  For more sophisticated stuff, use the Aurasma Studio.

3.  The easiest way for the other devices to see your auras is by making them public. (It is possible to use “private” & sending out the “Link to Subscribe.”)

For more sophistication, try Aurasma Studio.
