These are the original 10 posted earlier.

1. 3DBear
   Users can build and share scenes using 3D models with this app’s object library or content imported from Thingiverse. Teachers create and assign lessons through a web-based dashboard, and students use the app to create scenes. Ready-made lesson plans cover a range of topics. Read a review.
2. Catchy Words AR
   Elementary school teachers will enjoy this free word game that combines learning with movement. Without touching the screen, students walk around “catching” letters with their devices to solve word puzzles.
3. CoSpaces Edu
   This design tool allows students with coding experience to create virtual 3D worlds, create infographics, and tell stories through virtual exhibits and tours. Teachers create a class and post assignments. Images and 360-degree photos can be uploaded, and a companion app is available.
4. Froggipedia
   Using life-like visuals, this app allows biology students to explore the life cycle and anatomy of a frog through a guided virtual dissection. Read a review.
5. JigSpace
   This educational app offers a library of knowledge, and each “Jig” is a 3D presentation of how everyday things work, explained in simple steps, and viewed visually in augmented or virtual reality. Students can view the human heart, the solar system, inventions, and other objects from a variety of angles. Read a review.
6. MERGE Cube
   MERGE Cube lets students “hold a hologram” in their hands. Available through popular retailers for about $15, the foam cube features unique designs on each side. When held in front of a device’s camera while using one of MERGE’s apps, the cube transforms into a digital 3D object or scene that can be viewed from different angles by rotating the cube. With a MERGE Cube, teachers can create lessons and activities to explore STEAM concepts, illustrate complex systems, and enable students to “experience” history or science. For example, the DinoDigger app has students excavate the earth to uncover dinosaur fossils. The HoloGlobe app lets students “hold” NASA and NOAA visualizations of the earth in the palm of their hands. (Educators may also check out Google SkyMap, a hand-held planetarium that can be used to identify stars, planets, nebulae, and more.)
7. Metaverse
   Recommended for ages 13 and older, this free platform (website and app) allows users to create and share interactive content in augmented reality. Educators can use the tool to gamify learning through warm-up exercises, review games, or formative assessments. Students can download the free mobile app to participate in teacher- or user-created games, location-based experiences, scavenger hunts, geocaching, and more. Read a review.
8. Moatboat
   Moatboat is a creation engine app for augmented reality and virtual reality. The user gives simple commands to add objects and give them behaviors. Users can then “place” their creations on a table to share with others.
9. Orb
   Tech-savvy teens bring imagined spaces to life with this app. Students add 3D shapes that, from the device’s screen, appear to be part of the real world. Users can apply custom colors to the shapes, manipulate them with rotation tools, and combine them. The final creation can be downloaded, saved as an image or video, shared or exported to a 3D printer. Read a review.
10. World Brush
    This AR experience lets people “paint” the world around them. Paintings are created in the app, remain anonymous, and are only visible where they were rendered. Art teachers may assign students to create virtual drawings anchored to real objects and locations on their school campus.

For a list of additional AR and VR tools for the classroom, see this article on ISTE’s blog. To support student research, EBSCO’s Science Reference Center also contains articles about technological innovations that use AR. Librarians and educators can also find hundreds of articles about integrating AR into classroom instruction in EBSCO’s Education Source database.
