Chosen model of innovation:

Augmented Reality

I have chosen augmented reality as my innovation because it will allow my students to visually connect with the cultural information presented in this lesson. As we talk about a city that no longer exists, students will be able to view a 3D reconstruction of the city of Tenochtitlán and will be able to compare it side-by-side with Mexico City, which was built on top of its ruins. This will allow them to experience the city and its history in a way that is not possible in the real world.
