2nd grade continued

Ms. Reiser visited all the 2nd-grade classrooms last week to explore the app Quiver and its augmented reality features. Using the app, students were able to transform 2D pictures into interactive 3D images. They could manipulate the 3D objects and engage with them through various actions, providing a hands-on experience with augmented reality technology.
