Short Description

School age children in miltiary connected families move on average 6-9 times before the age of 18. These 'highly mobile' students struggle to become engaged and connected academically in school. Using the engagement strategy of student-led parent conferences, a rural elementary school in Western Kentucky is working to implement this strategy. Using Aurasma, and augmented reality tool, students and parents 'annotate' the classrooms where conferences occur to welcome and encourage participants in the student-led conferences.
