Coming from a medical background I am always looking into educational applications that involve science.  I am sure you are wondering what does that have to do with Instructional design or learning? Well I believe you need to know what tools are available to you. The majority of these applications are created for enhancing learning from all age groups.  I have provided a link below of a video that was filmed in Rotterdam.  Adults and children stand on a platform and in front of them is a video of all of these different AR images.  The video is only a minute and forty seven seconds, it definitely worth your time.  The viewer sees how astonished and awed the audience is with how life like the AR models appear to be.  I just wanted to provide a visual example of how cool AR really is. Some of the AR applications listed are worth looking into: there is Anatomy AR, Quiver 3D, Elements 4D, AR Solar system, AR cell, Spacecraft 30, Aurusma, Zookazam ect...  I could go on but most of these applications are on Google play or Itunes.  I certainly hope that as the technology improves that schools at all levels adopt some of these applications into their classroom instruction.

   Augmented Reality has seen a surge in its use in schools around the world.  All educators hope that their students will have successful learning outcomes.  AR can provide the boost to help students achieve those learning outcomes.  When introduced to AR most of the population believe it is an expensive option but that is far from the truth.  Most schools can incorporate AR with an internet connection, AR apps (education apps), mobile devices, and triggers (images, objects, or locations that can an action on the AR app).  AR works in conjunction with traditional instruction by enhancing the ability of students to solve problems, teamwork, and creating products.  Today's children are raised from infancy with technology at their disposal.  Children are visual learners and having children learn in mixed reality classrooms can only boost their learning. AR can supplement children's reading comprehension,  word problems, spatial representations, and science experiments.  There are AR applications from DAQRI and Arloon that feature educational apps that allow students to mix chemicals (no safety concerns), watch plants go through a simulated growing season, learn budgeting and finances, and understand 3-D objects in time and space.  Hopefully educators will embrace adding AR to their classroom instruction as technology becomes more and more integrated into every facet of our lives.
