Have you ever wanted to be on TV?  Well, now you can be the star you have always wanted to be!  This app allows the user to become a character in their own TV show.  By using augmented reality tools, the user can change costumes and sets while they create their own unique TV show.  The completed show can then be exported to the camera roll of the iPad.  

Augmented Reality Take 1

The clock just struck midnight and I am sitting in my hotel room at ISTE2014.  I came here with an agenda and a plan for what I wanted to learn more about.  First of all I wanted to learn about all things Google since I have been selected to test out Google Classroom.  Second, I wanted to attend sessions that covered utilizing technology with reading and social studies (I am switching from math and science to reading and social studies and need some refreshers).  Finally, I wanted to learn more about Augmented Reality.  Unfortunately, all of the Augmented Reality (AR) sessions were booked up, so I searched all of the presentations from ISTE that covered AR and came across this FABULOUS Prezi which took me step by step through the creation process. Major props to Lauren Tate @teachertate for creating it!

Introduction to Augmented Reality

OK...so I'm definitely a newbie when it comes to Augmented Reality and I am still learning, so feel free to leave any helpful comments below.  I started hearing about AR at NCTIES and have noticed that there are already sold out sessions at ISTE for Augmented Reality, so I've decided to try finding some resources that would be helpful for other newbies like me:)

I found this Prezi by Matt Hollowell that I think does a great job of introducing AR
