My son was only 4 months at the time and my daughter a little more than 2 years old. There are 6 photos in the series and my son is watching his sister intently in every shot. Adoring her - I surmised.
My kids are now 13 and 15.
Just the other day, I looked at the pictures. Really looked at them. I noticed that he wasn't just watching his older sister in adulation. My son was intently studying her left hand. In each and every shot, those gorgeous blue eyes were studying her delicate, little, left hand. He was learning. Eureka! Suddenly - after 12 years - those pictures did tell a thousand words.
Soon, Brainspace Magazine will be doing so much more than that. Pictures, diagrams and drawings will be able to virtually tell you what they mean. Downloading the free app will allow your student to hover his/her mobile device and - much like the Harry Potter newspaper - the pictures will tell a story about math, science, language, geography, history or any of the topics covered in Brainspace Magazine. The potential for augmented reality in education is huge.
Taking theory and virtually applying it to practical life situations is what makes learning real and purposeful.
Watch for the launch of Brainspace Magazine at Word on The Street, September 22nd in Queen's Park, Toronto. We'd love to meet you!
