I Survived Book Series and AR/VR Experiences
A special thank you to Laura Berg (@lbergkisd - reading intervention teacher at McDonald JH) for sharing her idea of pairing books in the I Survived series by Lauren Tarshis (@laurenTarshis) with virtual reality and augmented reality experiences.
Below is the combined list of what we found, along with the resources that Laura found, to make this a truly memorable learning experience for students. #teamwork
Students will need the following two apps:
Once you are in either app, you can search for the title listed in the table below. A few of the titles have links to be able to
view them on a computer, but we highly recommend the apps over a computer for a
more realistic experience.
In addition, students will need access to YouTube.
