The Differences Between Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality

One of the ten big topics to be covered in detail during the Practical Ed Tech Virtual Summer Camp is how to use augmented reality and virtual reality in education. It's important to note that while these topics are similar, there are some distinct differences between them. The biggest of those differences being how the content of AR and VR is experienced.

A couple of years ago I created this video to explain the differences between augmented reality and virtual reality. The ideas that I shared in the video are still accurate today. In the video I utilized a handful of slides. Those slides are embedded below.

Applications for Education
One of my favorite uses of augmented reality is to help students explore historical artifacts. Some of elements of the Google Arts & Culture app make that possible. The BBC's Civilisations AR app is another good app for interacting with historic artifacts in an immersive, 3D manner. And rather than just setting students off to explore these apps on their own, I like to provide a short list of objects for them to observe and give them some questions to think about much like if they were viewing a primary source document or image.

Moving Files Between Google Workspaces Accounts

It's that time of the year when some people are winding down their time in one school district in anticipation of a summer break before moving onto a new school district in the fall. For some people that means they have to figure out what to with the contents of their school-issued Google accounts. Just this week I've had two people ask me what they should do in that situation.

My advice to those who are leaving a school district that uses Google Workspaces is to put all of the files that you want to save into folders in Google Drive. Then download those folders and save them on a personal computer and or upload them to a personal Google account (Gmail-based) or another cloud storage service like Dropbox, Box, or OneDrive. Then when you have a new Google Workspaces account issued by your new school district, you can once again upload those folders into your new account or simply share files between your personal and work accounts.

If you want to save more than just the contents of your Google Drive, you can use Google Takeout to download all of the content from all aspects of your school-issued Google account.

In this short video I demonstrate how to download folders from your Google Drive and how to use Google Takeout.

In this short video I provide an alternate method of moving between Google accounts.

On the topic of summer, the June session of The Practical Ed Tech Virtual Summer Camp is starting to fill up. Early bird registration is available now.
