Interculturalidad y realidad aumentada: una colección de cuentos para trabajar en el aula

Este trabajo presenta un diagnóstico llevado a cabo en un aula de segundo de Educación Primaria con alto índice de inmigración, que se conocía con anterioridad por unas prácticas del Grado de Educación Primaria llevadas a cabo en esa escuela. A partir de los resultados de este diagnóstico se ha creado una colección de cuentos de las culturas existentes en el aula seleccionada. Además, en el cuento se integra como innovación el uso de la Realidad Aumentada y se pretende, también, fomentar entre el alumnado el gusto de la lectura desde el punto de vista intercultural, aspecto cada vez más visible en los centros de enseñanza actuales.
