My Project

My very patient class has been so tolerant of our outdated augmented reality literacy program! Instead of helping us learn letters, letter sounds, and how to blend them into words, our program lags and stalls and isn't very useful. My class has been so sweet and curious and now is the time to reward them with the newest version of Letters Alive: The Zoo Keeper 8.0

This program will be used by both kindergarten classes to supplement our current literacy curriculum.

Students will watch the animals come alive as they build and read words using the document camera and the augmented reality tools.
