Latest technology ensures that the classroom learnings are no more boring, they pike the curiosity of the students and helps them understand the subject in a better and interesting way. Introducing augmented reality in the classroom leads to a sea change in the learning behaviour of children. It has opened the door towards unlimited possibilities for teaching and learning process.
Augmented Reality is a unique combination of real and virtual worlds. Students pursuing a medical course can perform their first surgery without injuring or harming their patient. Students who want to pursue a career in space craft or want to be an astronaut can gather knowledge of the space with the help of this technology. The evolution of emerging technologies has replaced the traditional way of teaching in a classroom. Future of education lies in adapting future technologies in the classrooms. Time has come to unlearn what we have learnt and start keeping in mind future possibilities.
Benefits Of Using AR Features In Education
A Future Full Of Possibilities
When we introduce our children to AR we tell them that nothing is beyond them. If they want they can touch the stars, literally! AR helps lay the foundation for their future interests. It helps them decide and learn what they want to pursue as a major in their future education. It also helps them gain understanding of various subjects and help improve their knowledge.
Practical Application
The practical learning has a lot of impact on the learnings of the students. Students can touch the screen device and can rotate, manipulate and scale it. AR helps students to see models naturally and have the freedom to analyse the properties with precision and do an in-depth study of the subject. Other than that their enjoyment in the subject increases making them concentrate more in the class.
Interactive Classes
Studies have proven that interactions make learnings more interesting. Students are ready to know more only if the subject is taught interactively. Combining practical experience with interaction helps students learn quickly.
Engaged Environment
Engaged students will be highly energetic and motivated. This will help them get a broader understanding of the subject. With the advent of new technologies, classrooms have become more interesting, engaging and futuristic.
Clarifies Troublesome Concepts
AR helps to further understand the project with the help of the visual modes. With the help of the 3D model, the content taught in the classroom can be easily understood. At times students need clarifications on basic and troublesome concepts, AR applications helps in providing them with the required data.
To integrate augmented reality in classrooms or our education system we need to push students towards practical learning experiences. We should encourage their curiosity to learn and discover new things. This thirst for learning helps broaden his horizons and improves his creative and critical thinking skills.
