Community reviews for Quiver - 3D Coloring App

I would highly recommend Quiver to everyone. It is truly an amazing tool that provides students with opportunities to learn and explore the world around them in a more engaging way. These educational coloring sheets are great for center activities, lesson extensions, and for individual hands-on learning activities.

Students love this app and are always wondering if other worksheets will come to life if we use the Quiver app with it. They are disappointed when they learn that only coloring pages made by Quiver works with the app. Remind students that they shouldn’t color dark on these pages, otherwise the app can not detect the image and it doesn’t work, we have had better luck with crayons than markers. They are continuing to come out with more coloring pages, including more with an educational focus. I’m excited for Quiver to produce more pages that tie to what we are learning in the classroom.

My kids absolutely loved this and were so excited to do another page. I can see how this app could really enhance our science curriculum by viewing pictures from a variety of angles. I liked that they could view the picture from different angles. I also like how easy it was to print off pages and use the app. I really wouldn’t change anything about how this app works.

Using augmented reality to spark student interest and excitement has made ColAR ( now called Quiver) a valuable tool for teaching, primarily as a way to encourage writing and close reading for detail. My criticism is that there are a limited number of free pictures, and if you pay for a picture to use, it can only be viewed on the specific device it was downloaded from, not any device with the app.

I believe this is a neat tool to gain interest or student buy-in; however, for high order thinking and understanding it is more of a play tool. I love the creativity of it and the virtual nature of the app, but other than the globe and ball, most of the drawings you can use are for playtime.

This app is not a direct learning app, but the developers are adding pages to the app all the time. There is now a free "cell" app that directs the students to fill in the correct labels while coloring in the cell. The students love to see the pages come alive, even my high school students. It is a fun way to step out of the normal routine.
