Assignment
After reviewing the materials provided for this module: Remember two ISTE standards, correctly embedded under the correct topic in the Google+ community. Comment and interact with peers. 50 pts.
 * What did you learn?
 * What are the strengths and weakness of both AR and VR in your opinion?
 * Is one application favorable towards teaching and learning? Why?
 * Which one would be the easiest and cheapest to integrate and use in your classroom?
 * What apps can you/have you load/loaded on your cellphone/tablet/laptop to experience either reality?
 * In what ways could you see yourself using this technology and share and example?

Highlights
Which is better for education? By looking over the reports that classmates have posted, it appears the best answer to that question is, "It depends."

It depends on (TODO: try to get accurate counts of AR vs VR feelings)
 * the subject matter (math, science, history, etc.)
 * the teacher's preference and teaching style
 * the lesson to be taught

Anecdotally, it appears that classmates found VR more "fun", but thought AR would be better for their teaching.
