student downloads the WallaMe mobile
app on iOS or Google Play and searches for
walls to view. When a student is in close
enough proximity, the walls will be available
to find and view (Figure 6.1). When the wall
is found, the student can view the message
and take a picture of the wall that is saved
to their camera roll. Your wall can be private
for a single individual, shared with a specific
group of students, or open to the public to
find and view.

Using the WallaMe app in the classroom is
not limited to scavenger hunts. The teacher
can leave notes, tips, activities, or other infor-
mation floating around that students can
capture every day. The students can create
walls as a response exit ticket, or provide
support for classmates on solving a problem.
The WallaMe app can be a tool that parents
use when visiting the classroom for Meet
the Parents Day. Using the app to identify
directions such as north, east, south, and
west or solving math problems using nearby

The Metaverse app allows the educator to create multiple activities that include
augmented and virtual reality. The students can engage in lessons that have a leader
board to facilitate competition and challenge the students to work harder. The app
uses GPS to provide activities to individuals who are in the correct location.
