Welcome back to Of Primary Importance!  

In this podcast series we are exploring all things EYFS and primary with different topics and special guests each fortnight.  

In this episode, I am joined by Tricia Fuglestad to talk about ‘Taking art into the world of AR.’ 

Tricia is a K-5 art teacher, author, and artist from Illinois, who has a MATL in K-12 tech integration. She has successfully blended digital and physical art making with her ‘transdigital’ lessons to expand the curriculum, give students an opportunity to explore new media and find transformative ways for students to demonstrate their learning dynamically.  

Tricia’s classroom is featured in educational publications and higher education textbooks. Her students’ ‘Fugleflicks,’ student-created videos have screened at international film festivals and won national awards. She has been recognized with many state and national awards for her innovation and dedication to art education.  


She is currently working on writing, illustrating, and animating ‘PETER O’Meter’, an augmented reality SEL (Social Emotional Learning) book about a robot who becomes emotional when his buttons are pushed. 

 

Here are some of the questions I asked Tricia:   

  • Could you please introduce yourself to our listeners? 
  • We're going to be talking a lot about augmented reality today (AR), so before we dive in, can you give our listeners a simple definition of what AR is? 
  • What are some of the benefits of using AR in the classroom? 
  • What do you think educators should know before using AR with pupils? 
  • Can you share an example of an AR project your students completed and what the outcomes were? 
  • How did creating those AR projects support student’s communication skills? 
  • Your 'emotional robots' have been a key component in using AR to support students' social and emotional learning and now are becoming a book! Can you tell us more about that please? 
  • Where can schools get support and how can they best contact you?
