How are educators using Aurasma?
 * Use Aurasma as a way of showing guests around our school, using the pupils to create videos welcoming guests to different areas of the campus
 * Go to library and find an old photo books. Best if the book contains a lot of old photos of places around you. We could also use old photos from Internet that is free of copyright. Now, we go out and find the exact point of that photo taken, as close as to how the old photos were taken. We create a video (30-60 seconds) then use Aurasma to overlay this video as AR for the old photo.
 * Say, there is a big wall memorial somewhere (maybe like the 911 one). And each wall have a photo and we like to hear stories from each photo.
