In this episode of The Staffroom, we were lucky to speak to talented Apple Distinguished Educator, edtech pioneer and author, Paul Hamilton (@PaulHamilton8) about Augmented and Virtual Reality in education. Paul also spoke to us about his popular coding picture book, ‘If I Were A Wizard’and his app, Wizard AR and the way they enhance learning in his primary school classroom.
Our chat with Paul gave us some real insight into the potential use of AR and VR and what future learning technologies have to offer.
Here’s a break-down of our chat complete with time-stamps:
If you’d like further information about Paul, you can check-out his website, www.appsbypaulhamilton.com and follow his posts on Twitter (@PaulHamilton8). Also, if you’re interested in coding with your students, check out ‘If I Were A Wizard’available to purchase on Amazon – we highly recommend it!
We hope you enjoy this episode of The Staffroom and found Paul’s innovative ideas and resources as inspiring as we did. We’re excited to dig into the world of AR and VR and explore its potential with our students.
Until next time!
