1st Grade “Augments” Their Reality

The first graders have been studying the continents, so they each received a map of the continents to color.  What they didn’t know was that this was a special map!  We talked about how maps can be a bit confusing because the world isn’t really flat – so walking off the east side of Asia doesn’t mean we would walk off the world!  Then the students used an app called, “Quiver” to turn their flat maps into 3d globes.  These augmented reality globes could show their own coloring, what the world might look like under the oceans, and other fun features.  Some of the students were able to take pictures of their augmented reality globes, which I’ve posted below.
