Created a Zooburst augmented book. Very cool project for younger kids. The free version allows for 10 books, which is enough for a class at my school. It does not allow voice recording, whereas the paid version does.

If you choose webcam mode, and print the image as indicated, you can look at the book in augmented mode.  Let me know what you think.

Reflection on Day 6

I appreciate the time we spent starting from scratch to create a project. The decision making as to which tools to use and how to get started was valuable. I also loved the quick easy collaboration using Google Apps. (Somehow  I have to get our admin to see this value and allow student email accounts.) We saw some limitations to this method, as we spent quite a bit of time working on a tool (Present Me) that we were not able to include at the end. Although it is powerful learning to explore independently and  discover something new, students would most likely want to have a good looking project to share in the end. They would not be as satisfied with telling about learning from taking the wrong avenue.
