The 1st Winter Augmented Writing Prompt ....

To accompany the Mayflower Augmented Writing prompt, I've created the 1st Winter Augmented Writing prompt.  This lesson plan/activity has 3 Kagan structures to go along with AugThat's 360° augmented environment trigger "Winter Forest by the shore".  You could use this writing prompt with learning about the 1st Thanksgiving or the 1st Christmas for the pilgrims.

To get access to this trigger to use with these activities you will need to fill out AugThat's 1 Million Kids form or have access to their 360° Environments.

Teachers always ask me how can they incorporate augmented content into appropriate grade level lessons and or activities.  If you can give me a grade level and a topic you would like to see an augmented lesson or activity I can normally come up with a pretty engaging lesson and or activity.  It may take me a day or two to find the right trigger or create one that will work for your topic.  I also like to try and include the common core standard with the lesson and or activity.

With AugThat's help and their "An Ocean Landscape" 360° Environment trigger I created two activities.  The 1st activity focuses on observations and listening skills.  The 2nd activity is the writing prompt asking kids to think about what it might be like to live on a ship.  To get access to this trigger to use with these activities you will need to fill out AugThat's 1 Million Kids form or have access to their 360° Environments.

Augmented Reality Meets Kagan Structures....

Augmented Reality Meets Kagan Structures....

My school uses Kagan structures which then the question gets asked "How can I use augmented triggers with Kagan structures?"  Augmented triggers are just another tool that teachers can use to introduce a new concept, idea, lesson, deliver content, and etc... It is also a tool that gets kids thinking outside the box.  It isn't just another worksheet passed out and we say here solve the problem, or text in a book and we direct them to read it.  It is a tool that gives our students and our teachers an experience.  Studies have shown when we tie emotion and when we are activity engaged we are learning.  Augmented triggers do just that. When you tie augmented reality to learning structures such as Kagan structures the possibilities are endless.

I modified my augmented scavenger hunt "Riddle Me This" and included two Kagan structures to use with it.  (Rally Coach and Sage & Scribe)  What I would love to do is also augmented the structures themselves to include video or animated examples of how to use the structures at different grade levels.  When they have over 250 structures a teacher and or student could get lost or confused.  Having an augmented poster or image tied to examples and video demonstrations would be very helpful especially for us visual learners.
