1. StoryBuddy - A great digital storytelling app, StoryBuddy lets you create a book one page at a time. Create illustrations, write your story and save your book into iBooks! This app is great because it can cross many subjects and grade levels.
Click here for an example of one of our Kinder kids using StoryBuddy (Thanks, Mr. D for sharing!)
2. Comic Touch Lite - Most of my Creekside friends have seen this one as it has been my obsession ever since my iDevice hero, Tony Vincent came to train Denton Creek in January. Basically, you use your photo library or take pictures with the camera to create your very own comic image. It is easy enough that our younger grades can create comics easily, while the older ones can do a series of comics to bring together for their own comic strip. I have seen it used in Math for depicting Geometry vocabulary, Language Arts for modeling personification and Social Studies to illustrate what students know about landforms. A VERY versatile app!
3. Pic Collage - Simple to use, Pic Collage lets your students create photo collages with captions and different backgrounds. They then can save the new image to the photo library on the device for use in presentations, movies or slideshows. Great for building creativity skills and for making a visual reflection of a concept or idea.
Please do not judge the app solely based on my non-student example above...the kids create so much better than I do!! ;)
4. Pocket Zoo - Got animals? Pocket Zoo does! This app is great for animal researching. Not only can students watch videos and read about different zoo animals, they can also watch live streaming animal cams and hear each animal's sound! This app would also be a great discussion starter for habitats and adaptations.
ENJOY!!! Have you tried any of these? How are you using them?
