Homework Using Aurasma

The document provides instructions for a 2011 year in review assignment. Students are asked to choose a significant event from 2011 and create an augmented reality presentation about it. The presentation should have three parts: 1) an explanation of the event using the 5W's, 2) a description of why the event is important and will become history, and 3) images that tell the story of the event. Students will also create a poster that acts as a trigger to play their augmented reality video presentation when scanned. Teachers will evaluate the presentations based on criteria like how well the event is described, the explanation of its historical significance, and the effective use of images.

2011 Year in Review Assignment

What events from 2011 will become history? What the students should know? - Contemporary events can be significant. - We are living history - Some events are past and some get to become history - History depends on who is recording and choosing. (perspective and bias) - History is captured through iconic images and news. Some history is kept simply for the images. How I know they know it: - The event and significance are explained. - Students can articulate the impact of the event in a larger context (city-country, country- planet) - Images selected have been reasoned through the explanation.

Part 1 explains what the event was. Using the 5 Ws might be the best approach for a straightforward explanation. Remember the first paragraph of a newspaper article from grade 6. Part 2 will be explaining WHY this event is important and should be remembered 50 years from now. What changed or why is this event so important? Part 3 Find the iconic images that tell the story of your event. Think of it as a story with a beginning middle and end. What images or headlines could you use to tell the story with the pictures? We might be able to understand most of the story using your pictures alone without the audio. Part 4 Create a simple poster for your event that will act as the Augmented Reality Trigger to play your video. The poster should be the first layer of information that shares the event, date and a short explanation of what happened. Using the iPads, our audience will be able to view your video as the Augmented Reality layer, which will tell the whole story.

Students will answer the question: What events from 2011 will become history? Students will brainstorm events from 2011 and establish criteria to decide which events will likely become history. Students will create a 2-part narration for a slideshow and find effective visuals that tell the same story. A poster will also be created to act as the AR marker that activates the video. RUBRIC 4

- Your Event details (step 1) - Why did you choose these events and images? (step 2) - Why do you think this event is significant and will become history? (Step 2) You describe the event with excellent detail, strong words, and give the whole story. You clearly explain the significance of the event and why it will be history in the future. Your explanation is well

3
You describe your event using the 5Ws

2
You describe the event, though it may be missing an important component such as Where, When or Who. You tell us it is important, but are unable to connect this to why it should become historic.

1
Your narration seems incomplete. You are missing significant parts of your explanation or it is insufficient. You are unable to convince us that it is an important event.

You share with the audience why this event is important. Your explanation is straightforward and efficient.

Sights - Are your pictures:


powerful, emotional, crisp, cropped, watermarked, grainy, focused, in sequence, etc (step 3)

thought out and presented in an effective manner. The images are informative and well chosen. The images flow together to tell the story.

The images share some important scenes. The images are more of a collage than a sequenced story

The images are on topic, though more time could have been spent. The images seem random and confuse the story.

Images are not used effectively Images are a poor quality or there are too few to evaluate fairly.

Using Aurasma Complete your poster which will act as the link to your movie. Once you have created your narrated video using iMovie on the iPad, export the video to your Camera Roll. This will be the file you need to locate from the Aurasma application. Open the Aurasma application in your iPad and create an account if you havent done so. Aim your camera at your AR Marker, the poster, and click the camera icon in the corner. Follow the directions for the image marker. When asked, choose a file that will be activated when the camera sees your marker. Find the video file in your camera roll. *Remember, if you create Auras around the school or in the classroom please clean them up afterwards. It is almost like digital litter. If you create a fun Aura on a poster or another

surface, it can effect someone trying to put one there later. Please delete silly Auras and keep our school digitally free of AR rubbish.
