Second Life is a virtual world that can also be used for educational purposes too. It gives us an opportunity to join interactive classes and visit international education related centers such as erasmus office, where you are able to gain information really quickly about it and the things it provides for you. With the interactive, online classes, you are able to join them from anywhere in the world and all you need is access to internet. It has also been shown that in these classes as students are less anxious they are more willing to participate in the class since it's only a virtual world, even though technically it is representing everyone from the real world.
HP Reveal is an app that enables augmented reality to occur, which can also be used in a classroom environment. It is a simple app that can be used without difficulty; however, the diversity of animations and objects can be upgraded to include much more. In this video, I have used this app to apply augmented reality on A1 level English vocabulary. It is clearly one of the most engaging activities that I've tried for teaching basic vocabulary. As with the use of augmented reality, it is almost impossible for one's attention to be shifted to something else.
