2014 Funded Project: Creating and Applying Augmented Reality in ELA and Library

Project Based Learning with Portable iPads Award: Marile Borden, NEF President; Pat Montimurro, Melican Middle School Principal; Amy Staunton, NEF Treasurer.

Granted: Funding to purchase three iPads

Summary Description: Students at Melican Middle School  will use iPads and augmented reality technology to create multimedia projects. The project files are embedded in a “trigger image” that allows the multimedia project to be viewed when the image is scanned with a mobile device. Using augmented reality technology provides an innovative and enhanced means for publishing and sharing student work and school news with the whole school community.
