 * __For other users to subscribe to/be able to scan your auras__**:

Aurasma App is available to download on mobile devices/Smart phones. Install App and create and account (email address is optional – Elementary - see TIS about creating a basic student Aurasma account for your devices). Tap on **Arrow** to access the “Dashboard”. Tap on the **Magnifying Glass** (search). Type **Creator's username** or the **Name of the Channel** – have to be exact (is case sensitive). Sometimes it is easier to search for the username and then find the channel listed under them! Tap on the **Channel.** Tap on **Follow.** Tap on the **Square outline** to begin Scanning – will be able to scan target images for any video overlay within that channel. Hold **Aurasma app** over the **Target image**. Video will begin playing. **//Careful – once they are following the channel, they have access within their app to ALL the auras on that channel. Be aware of Do Not Release students (no names, no pictures) and other students (first names only OR picture, preferably not both). Suggest classroom teachers consider creating a new channel every year. You can add your “teaching” auras to the new year’s channel by editing.//**
