Lawson Elementary School Students get First-Hand Look at Augmented Reality
Lawson Elementary School students, in the Hazelwood School District, got a sneak peek of the new, unreleased Google Expeditions Augmented Reality (AR). Lawson Elementary was chosen amongst other area schools by the Midwest Education Technology Community and EducationPlus.
Google Expeditions Augmented Reality allows students to use devices to see and interact with various 3D images related to a particular topic in their curriculum. The feature also allowed teachers to place 3D objects such as a dinosaur or whirling tornado on the students’ desks so everyone can observe and examine the objects at the same time.
It was a great honor to have the Google Expeditions AR visit here at Lawson Elementary,” said Carolyn Allen, Lawson library media specialist and Google for Education certified trainer.
“Not only did the students get to try out new technology, but this experience was able to give them an engaging and unique experience. I loved seeing the excitement in students’ faces when they saw a 3D image of a dinosaur or a tornado pop up on the AR device.
“Thanks again to Google Expeditions AR, Midwest Education Technology Community, and EducationPlus for allowing our students and teachers to participate in this exciting opportunity.”
