Augmented Reality (wk 8)

I have heard about technology that is enhancing the medical field and other professions, but I didn’t realize that it was augmented reality that was causing these professions to be so successful. Now augmented reality is becoming part of the education field. Many educators are using augmented reality to add detailed information to subjects that students may or may not have been able to understand by themselves. I think that taking learning out of the classroom is a great idea and this new technology will allow teachers to be able to expand student learning. (Educause, 2005)
