QuiverVision – 3D Augmented Reality

Using Quiver in the classroom is as easy as coloring pages and having them brought to life in the way your student creatively colored the page.

Coloring is a fine motor skill we develop at an early age. Coloring allows us to be creative in our expression and acts as a calming agent in reducing stress. What Quiver does using 3D augmented reality is bring those colored images to life.

Animal Cell (colored and brought to life)

Quiver offers free activities but also provides an educational theme with narrations, facts, and quizzes.

These activities will complement any lesson while engaging your students with a desire to learn more.

Quiver Education provides content designed around topics as diverse as biology, geometry, and the solar system.

Wetland Biodome App for K-5

biodomesThe iBiome – Wetland app for the iPad is an engaging way for students aged 9–11 to learn about a variety of wetland ecosystems. By drawing connections between different species and creating a web, students learn about producers and consumers, and predator–prey relationships. Students can explore three wetland habitats: freshwater marsh, saltwater marsh, and mangrove swamp. They have tasks in each habitat, or “biodome,” such as identifying consumers, producers, and environmental factors. After students complete a task, a new species is unlocked. The species gets placed in a virtual journal, where students can tap to learn more about all of the species they have unlocked. Students can also experiment with their biodomes by adding species to see how they affect the biome.
