One of my favorite days of the year-> Fun Day!
Having a blast at ICE 2015
Learning a lot at ICE 2015
My class began experimenting with Augmented Reality using Aurasma. We begin playing around with this app while doing a close read on A Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes. My students really had an interest in learning more about Hughes as well as the Harlem Renaissance. In the video above, the student attached an "Aura" to a date near Langston Hughes's birthday. The image that appears is a piece of art that resembles artwork from an artist of his choice who was popular during the Harlem Renaissance.
This is another video clip of our AR Harlem Renaissance project. This student create a work of art inspired by an artist of choice and found music to go along with it which played when he hovered over the art work. Both the music and art was based off of research about the Harlem Renaissance.
This last clip shows all the creation, creativity, and collaboration (like that alliteration!) that was going on during our Harlem Renaissance investigation. This is a perfect example of a flexible teaching moment. It started with a close read and my students questioned and wanted to know more!
