Augmented Reality (AR) refers to tools that extend the physical world to include components of the virtual world. With augmented reality, the user is augmenting their physical world by adding layers of media that pop-up when the user is in a specific location and/or scans objects with a phone or tablet.<br />
The Lakeview fifth graders are using the CoSpaces EDU coding platform to create 3D augmented reality holograms that represent various planets they studied and researched in science. Once they complete the programming, the students will project their hologram onto a MERGE Cube to explore their planet in Augmented Reality. The MERGE Cube is a holographic cube that allows children to physically hold and interact with 3D objects using AR technology. Each side of the cube has a distinct pattern known as glyphs which serve as a trigger and allow the students’ coding to activate when pointed at the cube. MERGE Cubes can be purchased at Walmart and <a href="https://shop.mergevr.com/products/merge-cube." target="_blank">online</a>. In the AT&T Classroom, the students are using a <a href="http://www.robertjmeszaros.com/2019/06/25/merge-cube-thngs/" target="_blank">printable template </a>that can be downloaded at no cost and then assembled to function as MERGE Cube.<br />

Stop motion animation refers to a technique where objects are manipulated to appear to move on their own. The object is moved in small increments and a photo is taken of each movement. When the series of frames are played back, the illusion of movement occurs. Creating videos and movies is engaging for students but also provides opportunities for children to use higher-order thinking skills to organize and design the story elements and the events of the scenes and story. It also provides an opportunity for students to utilize auditory, verbal, visual, and kinesthetic modalities in combination to create a very personalized and meaningful product that can be shared. The fifth graders have been writing personal narratives and used <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stop-motion-animator/dhgmfcabdnkbdhelnooodefedbilcpho?hl=en-US" target="_blank">Stop Motion Animator</a> to “animate” their narrative and bring it to life.<br />

Augmented Reality (AR) refers to tools that extend the physical world to include components of the virtual world. With augmented reality, the user is augmenting their physical world by adding layers of media that pop-up when the user is in a specific location and/or scans objects with a phone or tablet. The <a href="https://mergevr.com/cube" target="_blank">MERGE Cube</a> is a holographic toy that allows children to physically hold and interact with 3D objects using AR technology. This morning the campers were introduced to the <a href="https://cospaces.io/edu/" target="_blank">CoSpaces EDU</a> platform, which they will use to build and animate their own 3D creations, which they will project onto their MERGE Cube to explore in Augmented Reality. CoSpaces EDU is a cloud-based 3D AR/VR creation environment. Children are able to drag and drop 3D objects and images to various scenes that can be viewed by online, or by using AR/VR tools such as MERGE Cubes or Google Cardboard-based virtual reality (VR) headsets. The platform also features an optional programming environment in which children can make their creations interactive via JavaScript or Blockly scripts.<br />

Photos and images can be added from the device’s photo library, from the web or photos can be captured and inserted using the tablet’s camera. Students can also draw images using the pen tool. Books can also include video, music, and recorded narration. Finished books can be shared via email or uploaded for cloud storage via Google Drive, Dropbox or iCloud. The second graders are using the Book Creator platform to create science journals where they can record photos and scientific notes regarding various physics experiments and projects. This morning the second graders used their Chromebook’s camera to take a digital photo of their Lego model and create their first entry.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Rootstown fourth graders are building their own math fractions using Scratch 3.0. Released earlier this month, Scratch 3.0 builds from the original Scratch project designed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. Scratch 3.0 offers a programming language and online community for creating interactive stories, games, and animations. In addition to the computational thinking skills that are inherent in programming, the platform is designed to engage students in problem-solving, design thinking, communication, and collaboration. This morning the fourth graders learned advanced scripts and coding sequences within Scratch 3.0 that they will use to program their own fraction game to share with classmates.</span><br />

Bitsbox is a web-based platform that displays a virtual tablet on which the student is able to access programming lessons to build simple apps and games in JavaScript. Once the student has created a game, they are able to use a mobile device such as an iOS or Android tablet or smartphone to scan the QR code associated with their Bitsbox project. They are then able to access their game on that mobile device through the QR code. The Bitsbox coding challenges used in the AT&T Classroom are available on the Bitsbox website at no cost (https://bitsbox.com). Bitsbox also offers subscription plans that include monthly mailings containing new programming tutorials, challenges, and projects. </span></div>

The posts can include different types of media including text, images, and videos. As part of their vocabulary assignment, the fifth graders provided a prefix and base definition of the targeted word and then used the word in a sentence and added a relevant image to support the sentence and definitions. Students posted their word work on a Padlet wall.</span></span><br />

Over the next three weeks, the class will be utilizing digital tools to support their exploration of ancient civilizations. As the students are studying ancient civilizations, they will be working with informational text to learn about the topic and will need to utilize specific text features to support their understanding as they are reading. These features include pictures/images, captions, bold print table of contents, a glossary, etc. which all help the reader find information, add context to information presented in the text, call the reader's attention to important words, and help to explain what words mean. </span></span><br />
