Teaching today is about more than covering the syllabus, it’s about creating experiences that spark curiosity in young minds. For many teachers, this is not easy, especially when lessons involve abstract ideas or topics that are hard to imagine.
This is where Augmented Reality (AR) makes a difference.
Meet Lettisha Denny, a kindergarten teacher of Nirmala Matha Central School, Thrissur who has been using TutAR in her classroom. Her day is a perfect example of how AR is transforming teaching.
Before TutAR: Limited Engagement
In her early classes, Lettisha often found herself relying on storybooks and 2D visuals to explain basic concepts.
- Healthy food and good habits were shown through posters or chalkboard drawings.
- Children would listen, but their attention would quickly wander.
- Many struggled to remember or connect the lesson to real life.
The gap between teaching and learning was clear.
After TutAR: Teaching in 3D
Once she began using TutAR, everything changed.
- Instead of showing flat images of fruits and vegetables, she launched 3D models that students could see in detail.
- Lessons on habits like eating healthy or brushing teeth became interactive demonstrations instead of just words.
- Children began to respond with excitement, pointing at objects, naming them, and asking more questions.
In Lettisha’s words, AR brought a new level of engagement to her classroom. It turned everyday teaching into an interactive experience that matched her students’ natural curiosity.
Why AR Works for Young Learners
For young learners, seeing is understanding. TutAR gives teachers like Lettisha:
- Show concepts in realistic 3D visuals
- Keep children focused through interactive storytelling
- Build stronger memory by connecting words to visuals
- Save preparation time, models are ready with one tap
This combination keeps lessons both fun and effective.
The Teacher’s Experience
At the end of her day, Lettisha reflects on the difference AR has made. Her students are not only more attentive, but they also remember and apply what they learn.
As she puts it, TutAR is helping teachers “make classes more engaging and meaningful for children.”
Final Thoughts
A day in the life of a 21st-century teacher is no longer just about textbooks and chalkboards, it’s about using the right tools to reach students where they are.
For Lettisha and many other educators, TutAR has become that tool. It allows them to explain concepts visually, spark curiosity, and bring joy back into learning.
