This next Tuesday (February 8th, 2011), I’ll be presenting in the Technology Applications Teacher Network Event at the TCEA conference. I’ll be demonstrating how augmented reality can enhance math education; specifically, geometry classes.
The Prezi I’ve developed below, “Implementing Augmented Reality in Math Education,” will provide the framework for my presentation.
