This set of products from Experience Real History creates an augmented reality experience to visit people and places from the Battle of the Alamo. A few years ago, I visited a classroom where students were using these products in their Texas Revolution unit. They loved it! The students were completely engaged in the lesson as people from the Battle of the Alamo came to life and a narrator told their story. The teacher added questions that they answered as they explored the products. The students even found that if you had certain cards together, they would interact with each other. They could also travel inside the walls of the Alamo and watch the battle unfold. I would like to be able to share this experience with my own students and instill a deeper understanding of the people and events of the Battle of the Alamo. Please help fund this project to engage my students at a deeper level with Texas history. Any size donation will help get us closer to our goal. Thank You!
