Today, I made a Thinglink. For those who don't know what it is, Thinglink is a website where you can create informational interfaces like this one . This is a great tool that can be used to teach certain subjects besides various other things. Other than boring images you can also use videos and 360° videos. It also supports VR and this can bring the materials that you can create to a whole new level. Here is the Thinglink I made. Just click on those icons.

Augmented Reality is a new kind of technology that augments reality. It can be said that it is a combination of VR and reality. If you don't know about VR I suggest you to read my previous post . In VR all we see was virtual stuff but in AR that virtual stuff is experienced together with reality. The picture above explains it well actually.

This website also has an "Explore" section which teachers can use to share content and use the content that other teachers had made. Another great feature is the VR implementation. This is a really nice touch because VR technology can make learning more appealing and fun.
