What type of reader am I?

During our lives we could have read hundreds of books. They offer us fantastic stories, useful information or new ways to perceive the world. We learn from the stories because they give us experience regarding a specific situation. We acquire knowledge about any subject and this knowledge broaden our mind.

I would like to take advantage of this World Book Day which is quite close and I will show what type of reader I am and what are the books that have most influenced on my life.

Here you can see this collage which summarizes the main ideas of my reading experience and my tastes:



  However, that´s not all. There is something else hidden behind the image. You have the chance to see it if you follow this basic steps:

- Download Aurasma in your mobile phone. If you don´t know what Aurasma is then you can clic on this link to another entry of this blog where it is well explained.

- Follow the channel "GuillermoLagarejos", which is my channel.
- Now, if you point the movil camera to the image with the Aurasma App you will enjoy the hidden surprise.

Everything will be clarified then and you will know more about my profile as a reader. If you have any doubt about the Aurasma process or about my reading tastes you can ask me on twitter at GLHmaster.

Apart from this you can also enjoy all the fantastic contributtions of other people to the Pinterest Board of "A Wall of Books". Here you can see how many people share their experience regarding reading and their favourite books.

Slideshow to learn about Aurasma


For this challenge our group has worked with Google Slides, a tool that had been unknown before. The members of the group are Marina Goizueta, Teresa Martín, Laura Pérez, María Collado and me, Guillermo Lagarejos.

Google Slides offers similar possibilities to create a presentation as Power Point. Therefore, the use of this tool was quick and easy.

In this way you can add pictures, videos, links and animations. We used a You Tube video, several links to Aurasma Studio and images to make the explanation easier to understand.

We used this tool to describe how to use Aurasma, a fantastic tool for any educational purpose. Aurasma is a web tool that allows us to create augmented reality from trigger images already labeled by the creator. This tool can be quite simple to enjoy if you follow the steps that we explained in our presentation. In every step we have added screenshoots of the Aurasma webpage so it is easier to follow.

We think that Aurasma is great tool for both teachers and students and make lessons more angaging and motivating, so we really recommend you to try it in the future.
