In this lesson, students will use the CocoCast app to learn civics and social studies. These lessons are inspired by the San Diego Museum of African American Art’s 3-D exhibit titled “The Buses Are Coming” from August 2022. The lessons in this series will leverage augmented reality (AR) and use CocoCast, an app created by Three Space Lab, to be used on an iPad to allow learners to examine an artifact that would be otherwise inaccessible. The choice to employ AR will allow learners to experience the complexity of the emotions surrounding the bombing of the Freedom Ride bus in Anniston, Georgia. The lesson supports the development of oracy and literacy skills as students learn to evaluate historical events. NOTE: This lesson is part one of a four lesson sequence.
Estimated time required: 1 class period.
Technology required for this lesson: Augmented Reality, Internet Connectivity, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet or Smartphone.
