The concept is simple but compelling: Take something
that already exists (like a map or a poster) and enhance it by bringing it to
life. Consider the possibilities for cultural exploration. Download an app like
Blippar or Aurasma onto your smartphone to get started. These are both digital
tools which modern language students find intuitive and exciting.
With Blippar, you can create interactive notebooks
which support videos, images and slideshows as an engaging alternative to textbooks
and traditional notebooks. Use Aurasma to create a hands-on interactive word
wall to teach vocabulary, or even just to communicate your classroom rules in a
creative way.
