Aurasma App. Is the Matrix is real? by Arturo Mora

Is the Matrix real? Well, maybe not yet as Neo faced it.However, we are dealing with impressive changes about the way the use of technology affects how do we see and learn about the world around us. A great example of that is Aurasma. From the Internet I found that:

"What is Aurasma? Aurasma is an Augmented Reality site which allows you to see and interact with the world in a new way. With Aurasma, every image, object and even place can have its own aura. Auras can be as simple as a video and a link to a web page or as complex as a lifelike 3D animation."

But to really understand it you have to try it by yourself. Visit this site: https://studio.aurasma.com/register

When the group in charge of showing us about this application we had to try it. Here are some of the examples I could do.




You will enjoy this Augmented Reality .
As teachers we can use it in our classes. If we have all the available resources. I think it is a brave step to learn about new tools and apps to teach. That means we care about our profession. Just we have to test these kind of apps and let decide if they are useful for our students and for us.
If you like try Aurasma in your classroom and give us your comment about your own experience.

Free Software for English Teacher. ( Free as in Freedom). Final Research

Free Software and Free Society.


Can be the choice of software and apps part of the Society we are creating?

To start this topic we share this video from Mr. Robot (  MR. ROBOT is a psychological thriller that follows a young programmer who works as a cyber-security engineer by day and a vigilante hacker by night.) When Elliot is in a session of therapy and he has to answer:

What Is It About Society That Disappoints You So Much?

Now, we would like to share our final research about which free software can help English teachers to improve student´s four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
We really hope all the tools, news and documents we share on this blog can be useful to all the teachers and students who want to learn in this very fast world of information and connectivity.
