This PDF handout provides examples and use cases for attributions and citations. The document explains the importance of giving credit to the sources of information in a project or research paper, and provides clear examples of how to cite sources in different formats, including books, websites, and videos. The examples are easy to follow and provide a useful guide for students who are new to citing sources. Overall, this document is a helpful resource for understanding the basics of attribution and citation in academic research.
In this lesson, students will learn about Augmented Reality and use a Merge Cube to create a 3D astronaut name-tag. Note: the activity in this lesson requires your class to have access to a paid “Pro CoSpaces EDU” account. If your class does not have a paid CoSpaces account with the Merge Cube add-on, students can still view Merge Cube projects but won’t be able to create their own.

This is an applied project where your students will choose from three different project options, then use the design thinking process to create an augmented reality app that solves their user’s problem. In Lesson 1, each student will read all three project overviews. Then, they will choose the project they want to work on for the remaining lessons in the project! Note: the activity in this lesson requires your class to have access to a paid “Pro CoSpaces EDU” account.

Technology required for this lesson: Augmented Reality, Laptop/Desktop, Smartphone, Tablet.
In this lesson, students will learn more about their user and complete the first two steps in the Design Thinking process: Empathize and Define. Note: Students should only work on the material that corresponds to their project choice. For example: if a student chose Project 2A, they would only work on the Project 2A content.

In this lesson, students will ideate and sketch designs for their AR app project. Additionally, they will create a “features list” for the free and premium versions of their AR app. Note: Students should only work on the content that corresponds to their project choice. For example: if a student chose Project 2A, they would only work on the Project 2A content.

This lesson should take 2-3 class periods, or about 100-150 minutes to complete. In this lesson, students will use CoSpaces and the Merge Cube add on to create two prototype of their AR App: a free version, and a premium version. Note: Students should only work on the content that corresponds to their project choice. For example: if a student chose Project 2A, they would only work on the Project 2A content.

In this lesson, students will finalize their AR projects, create a poster/advertisement for their project, share their project with their peers, give/receive feedback on each other’s projects, submit their designs, and answer a series of reflection questions. Note: the content for 2A, 2B, and 2C are almost identical in this section. This is a great chance for students to teach each other about their specific project choice and user!
