Inspiring Question
How can you introduce new students, parents and guests to your school using an
Aurasma poster?
ACTIVITIES
Dream
The students are read a letter from the school principal saying that “She/he has
asked the students to create a poster/bulletin board for new students and parents
about their school and staff.” Also, a video can be played or the principal can be
invited to the class. To do this Aurasma will be a more amazing app they will
experience. Then they are introduced what the Aurasma is. The videos about
Aurasma are thoroughly watched. Sketchup tool is also introduced.
Teams of 5 students are formed with Teamup. They talk about the theme and think
about it. The wikispaces project blog where they described themselves and the
design being presented. They are asked how to do their design. They discuss and
share their ideas together with media (videos and documents) by connecting and
communicating using a newsfeed on wikispace and Edmodo. They use reflection
tools. Teacher posts about the apps via Edmodo to get the students to be
acquainted after the session. Later, their ideas gathered and categorized by
poplet/Maptini. Teams shared the topic and made their mind maps.
Explore
The students use their own devices (BYOD/Bring Your Own Device). They browse the
comparable designs and share ideas. They can bookmark websites and arrange
their bookmarks into mindmaps of related topics with Pearltrees. They experience
Aurasma, using some images and videos. Sample videos of themselves are created
by animation/talking avatars. They may use their photo and animate it. “Tellagami,
Morfo, Puppet pals, Crazy Talk, Explain Everything” are experienced. They post all the
medias and reflect. The first Auras describing themselves are made and shared on
their design web page and class bulletin board.
Some of the teams will work with the school staff to explore the building while some
of them will make interviews with the teachers. Modeling teams browse the Sketchup
instructions and make samples. They survey the school and find out how many
classrooms, labs, gym, playground, teachers’ room, administrative rooms exist and

the proportions. They will sketch out various parts of the building as they explore. The
poster should introduce the school and visitors, and tell students where the rooms
are. The team will use Sketchup/Gliffy to model the school.
They interwiev with the school staff. The teams asks the school teachers,
administrators about their personal information, hobies, habits, daily life and takes
notes or have recordings. They take the photographes and may take videos of them
to use as the trigger, overlay of the Aurasma. Their photos will be animated by using
“Tellagami Tellagami/Morfo/Puppet pals/Crazy Talk”. They may use screen casters ,
“Camtasia/ Screenr”.
They make video conferences with their teacher to explore the tools with “MashMe
TV/ BigblueButton/ WızIQ” .
Map
Students bookmark when they are conducting online search. They bookmark critical
web pages on backbags of Edmodo.
They map media files by using
“Poplet/Maptini”. They create mind maps of how to use Aurasma and Skechup. The
The information gathered about the school are maped again using the mapping
tools.
They sketch out various parts of the building make rough draft of the school plan.
Teams make visual notes about their design and map them on mind mapping tools
Poplet/Maptini. Students share their drafts and mind maps with their peers and
parents by Edmodo and the blog for having feedback to make it refine.
Reflect
At the end of each work session students will individually record their thoughts on
what they did, plan to do and the challenges they encountered or can foresee on
Reflex or Flipgrid. Teams listen recordings by others and coach them. Teams embed
or upload their work on project web page Wikispaces, Edmodo/ Three Ring/Taught
to share and have comments on them from parents, other classes, teachers, school
principal, assistant principal. They discuss comments and record them. Other iTEC
community or country classes may be collaborated. Then their comments are
discussed, reflected and shared.
They present their draft “Auras and School Model” on their class bulleten board to
other classes, teachers, school principal, assistant principal. They discuss and reflect.

Students having tablets use face of teachers in “Morfo/Tellagami” and record their
voices. Students having lap tops use “Crazy talk/Blabberize/Fotobabble” to animate
the their faces of the staff. The animated faces with their voices are used as trigger

of the school they created. Auras of the school are made.
Teams create posters using “Canva/ Glogster/Easel.ly”. They display the staff
portraits and school model on posters. QR code linked “School Aurasma Channel”
put on them. The posters are printed and sticked on the class bulleten board. They
view their posters and poll them. They are all shared on their project blog and
commented. Teams view posters and vote for the them with “Poll Everywhere”. They
disscuss with respect to their resulting votes and record their reflections.
