AR by Teachers was developed through the passion to integrate Augmented Reality (AR) into the classroom. There is a large disparity between AR resources created by tech companies and their practical implementation in the classroom. What if we teachers could take the lead in creating AR resources that are valuable and engaging learning experiences for our students? AR by Teachers was developed primarily with pedagogy, teachers and students in mind. We hope you enjoy our AR teaching and learning experiences with accompanying resources.
