Lesson idea: This tool allows students to make Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Projects. Students can research a Georgia Region and then create a Virtual Field trip to that region, showing the landscape, plants, and animals that can be found there. Once their creation is complete, they can animate it through coding and can be viewed in augmented or virtual reality.
