Bringing the classroom to life

The use of modern technology like Including AR in smartphone apps

classrooms around the world. Here we will phone user becomes interactive.

stated that ‘The only source of knowledge is
experience’ and AR in education is likely to
change traditional learning processes as
educators put this into practice.
AR can help teachers motivate students right
across the school curriculum, but it is
particularly useful where complex models are
required, for example, in the sciences. Hands-
on learning can lead to better understanding
of any lesson as 3D models are much easier
for students to understand. Special AR apps for
medical students offer ways to learn about
human anatomy as well as techniques for
carrying out operations in a way that has never
been possible before. AR is also a great tool for
carrying out dangerous chemistry experiments
that would otherwise be difficult in schools due
to the risk of people getting hurt.
Students have always enjoyed school trips, but
AR technology now allows them to travel
around the world on their own or as part of
group projects without actually leaving the
classroom. Furthermore, AR can give them
detailed and interactive information on the
objects and places they see, helping expand
their knowledge.
Many young people globally now own a
smartphone and use it to play games, so they
are skilled in using its interactive features.

Other apps provide 360-degree virtual photos and
multiple 3D experiences, which are particularly useful
for less motivated students, while maths apps provide
practice in basic counting skills.

Virtual Reality (VR) differs from AR by moving
students away from real-world environments, using
special headsets linked to a computer. Like AR, VR has
the advantage of physically involving the students,
but it does so to an even greater degree. According to
Edgar Dale’s Cone of Learning, we typically only
remember 10% of what we read but 90% of what we
live through, so, like AR, VR can be a valuable
learning tool. Students can navigate menus and
content by simply using physical movements of their
hands or head, rather than looking for buttons on a
remote control. These gestures are read by an in-built
camera and allow students to choose the content they
wish to explore. VR in the classroom requires slightly
more financial investment in special hardware and
broadband compared to AR, but costs are falling
rapidly and a basic VR headset now has a similar cost
to a printed textbook.
In a school-based experiment funded by an Australian
university, science students researched and
developed models of internal body organs that could
then be explored in VR. Some created a model of an
eyeball which could be toured on a roller coaster,
while another built a model of a skyscraper shaped like
a brain sitting on top of a spinal cord. Using VR,
students could fly around the brain, interacting with
different parts. All the reports from the projects show
that VR captured the students’ imagination and
helped them use their knowledge to find new and
creative solutions.
anatomy (n): the physical structure of an animal or plant
interactive (adj): allowing information to be passed in
both directions between a device and the person using it
organ (n): a part of the body that has a specific purpose,
e.g. the heart
roller coaster (n): a track at a theme park with steep
slopes that people ride on in a small train for fun
spinal cord (n): the inner part of your spine that
contains nerves going from the brain to other parts of
the body

Not long ago, I also received a text message saying that a parcel had arrived for me,

didn’t respond
