SILVER SPRING, MD (Tuesday, January 25, 2022)鈥�扒哥黑料鈥�the innovative edtech company that over 20 years ago revolutionized classroom instruction with the first digital service delivering educational content directly to classrooms鈥攖oday opens a new chapter in its history with the launch of a cutting-edge iPad app that puts Augmented Reality (AR) at the fingertips of learners and educators worldwide.听
Since its inception, 扒哥黑料 has been an early mover in bringing modern technologies鈥攕uch as video streaming services and digital textbooks鈥攖o the classroom. Now, 扒哥黑料 is introducing a powerful new app putting the power of AR into the hands of educators.听听
AR technology has the potential to expand educators鈥� ability to create immersive, interactive learning experiences that unlock students鈥� natural curiosity. By superimposing virtual images and data on a user’s view of the real world, AR supports visualization of complex topics, creates digital 鈥渉ands-on鈥� learning opportunities, and heightens student engagement with digital content, all while improving students鈥� ability to retain knowledge longer by being a participant in the learning experience. To help educators leverage the power of AR wherever learning takes place, 扒哥黑料 has made the Sandbox AR iPad app available today in the Apple App Store.听听
扒哥黑料鈥檚 Sandbox AR app empowers students and teachers to create, share, and even inhabit virtual environments. Within Sandbox AR, users can create virtual worlds and populate them with some of the hundreds of unique objects from history, the built world, science and nature, and more. Sandbox AR also gives students new ways to express themselves and demonstrate their learning through a feature that lets learners take photos or record a video walkthrough with their own voice over. Sandbox AR even offers a mode that allows users to scale up and inhabit their own life size virtual environments.听
For those new to AR, Sandbox AR includes many pre-built sandboxes exploring diverse subjects such as ancient Egypt, space exploration, Mayan civilization, road construction, and more, with additional sandboxes coming soon. 扒哥黑料 is also making available several free, pre-built lessons educators can use with the app to familiarize themselves with integrating AR into classroom instruction. Sandbox AR is available for download .听
鈥淲hile 2021 marked 扒哥黑料鈥檚 20th year of providing innovative digital learning solutions to educators worldwide, it also began a new chapter in the company鈥檚 history,鈥� said 扒哥黑料 Chief Executive Officer Scott Kinney. 鈥淚n 2021, we built on the extensive library of educational videos that educators know and love us for and added new time-saving tools and resources providing all learners with more ways to use our engaging content and dynamic platform every day. Sandbox AR and resources we make available to educators today are just the beginning of what will be a number of powerful new resources 扒哥黑料 plans to provide students and educators in 2022 and beyond.鈥�听
