*Getting Started Tips
*Erin Klein's Aurasma How-To
*Scroll to the bottom of the blog post to download a free 19 page step-by-step how-to booklet.
* Double tap the Aurasma video when it begins to play. This will cause it to go full screen. (Your arms will instantly thank you! You won’t need to stand with your device pointed at the trigger image.)
*Connect with Other Teachers and Studets-Brad Gustafson's World Book Talk
*Trigger Image Tips
This trigger image has a lot of white space. The text is the same for all students illustrating the poem. Even though multiple students will illustrate their pages differently, it is not unique enough to provide a good trigger image.
Fluency example
The patterned background makes this a good trigger image.
