Transforming the classroom with augmented learning — from thetechedvocate.org by Matthew Lynch
Excerpt:
Forbes documented the many ways that augmented reality (AR) has come to life in recent years. They list several award-winning apps that use AR. A few are:
- The “Gatwick Airport Passenger” App, which helps passengers navigate the airport;
- The “Dulux Visualizer” App, which lets you virtually scan and paint your room any color you choose;
- “Envisioned by the Mine” App, which lets you put 3D images of any type of accessory or furnishing in your home that Lowe’s offers;
- “Sephora Virtual Artist”, which allows you to “put makeup on” without actually touching brush to face;
- “Accuvein”, which doctors and nurses use to scan a patient’s vein network (it reduces escalations by 45%);
- And, of course, there are apps like the “BIC DrawyBook App” just for fun.
But what about the classroom? Can we see a future in transforming the classroom with augmented learning?

Along the lines of developing creativity with edtech…
I saw another item recently about Book Creator, something that’s made this blog before. I love that type of tool because it promotes creativity, unleashes a student’s imagination, promotes their artwork and writing/storytelling and their musical or acting abilities, and it develops skills in design and developing multimedia-based artifacts. For teachers, it could be a nice project-based learning exercise.
I asked our youngest daughter if she would like to use it…we’ll see. You can get a free account that allows you to publish up to 40 books. (Plus there is pricing for schools and districts.)
And who knows…? This type of thing might just produce the next J.K. Rowling or a J.J. Abrams.

Job 38:1-11
The Lord Speaks
38 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:
2 “Who is this that obscures my plans
with words without knowledge?
3 Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.
4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone—
7 while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?
8 “Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
9 when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10 when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
11 when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt’?

4 Digital Accessibility Features That Benefit Everyone – from boia.org
Excerpt:
Accessibility affects everyone, and all types of digital content can be improved by following the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Over the last decade, we’ve seen many accessibility features become popular with audiences outside of the disability community.
Some features were originally developed to make the web more useful for people with disabilities, while others were refined over time with input from the accessibility community. In either case, these features demonstrate how focusing on accessibility makes content more usable for your entire audience — not a select group of users.

Things To Know Now About the Future of Nondegree Credentials — from stradaeducation.org by Amy Wimmer Schwarb
Excerpt:
Certificates. Licenses. Microcredentials. Nanocredentials. Digital badges.
The array of options for postsecondary education and training has exploded over the last several decades, and interest is still growing: According to Strada Public Viewpoint research, 62 percent of Americans would prefer skills training or another nondegree option if they enrolled in a program within the next six months. In the 1950s, 5 percent of American workers held some type of licensure or certification; today, 30 percent do.
In the absence of an existing system from education providers, employers are starting to do the work of standardizing credentials and making them transferable.
“They’re starting to act like a mini higher ed system, and with that comes responsibility, and you could maybe say some accountability,” Zanville said. “There’s some interesting work behind the scenes on what that could look like going forward.”
