New Media Consortium 2010 Summer Conference
T-minus 9 days until the premier educational technology event of the year – the annual New Media Consortium Summer Conference! This year’s program is looking better than ever with sessions and workshops focusing on a wide range of topics, such as educational gaming, virtual worlds, mobile applications, geolocation technologies, cloud-based learning systems, digital storytelling techniques and yes, of course, Augmented Reality!
NMC 2010 Summer Conference
This year I will be presenting a half-day hands-on session in which we will explore emerging educational applications of augmented reality as well as introducing ways in which educators can build their own AR environments. I’m busily preparing a number of fun tutorials for this event, including:
- Hands-on activities that will let participants experience augmented reality first-hand (printed markers included!)
- A series of “quick start” code libraries that are designed to help educators construct their own AR learning applications, and step-by-step instructions on how to get up and running fast. All participants will leave the session with their own working AR project on their blog or website.
- A preview of the new version of the ZooBurst digital storytelling tool which includes a number of new features, including live audio recording capabilities, classroom management features and even an augmented reality presentation mode.
If you’ll be in Anaheim CA next week and would like to join us feel free to register!
