Direct linkJohnson, Elijah T.; McNeal, Karen S. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Spatial thinking skills are crucial for success in any of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) domains, and they are malleable. One approach to support the development of student spatial skills is through the use of innovative technologies, like the augmented reality (AR) sandbox, that can also effectively teach geoscience…
