3. A bit about me…
I am an author and a consultant
BUT
I am really still a “get-on-the-floor”,
“learn-with-children”, “bad-hair-day-
doesn’t-matter-to-kids” kind of
teacher.
15. Robots and Coding
• Symbolic thought
• Sequence
• Tools for Stories
• As well as counting, logic, problem solving, dealing with frustration,
and some self-esteem and fun for families as well as children!
17. Virtual Reality
• Usually
through a
headset
or viewer

18. Virtual Reality
• Immersion in “places”
• Tools for Stories
• Experiences
• Exploring places we cannot go (yet)
• Adding context to books we read
• Bringing fiction and nonfiction together
• Opportunities to develop real vocabulary
A “negative” is it is not usually a shared in real-time experience.
19. Augmented Reality Cards, Coloring Books and the
like…
• I find these to be mostly Gee, Wow
• But also SO What?!
20. QR Codes or Aurasma
• Add media to ”items” or “images”
Here’s where I found this example:
