Creation Apps: I personally love the apps that enable students to use what they know to share their knowledge with others. These are the apps that we use to show higher order thinking skills. We are able to create project based activities across grade levels and curriculum areas with these apps.
Learning to collaborate with others and connect through technology are essential skills in a 21st century learner.
The FREE Google Suite of apps which includes Drive, Slides, Sheets, Forms, Photos, and Classroom all lend them-self for collaboration and creativity.
Explain Everything is a paid app $5.99 that creates a video screencast with the use of laser pointer, drawing tools, coloring choices, shapes, text, images, and videos. this app will record everything that you do to create a high quality and creative presentation.
iMovie is a paid app that allows the user to create live movies. There is also a very easy to use trailer feature. Images and videos can be placed in iMovie and then used to produce a final project. Great for app smashing.
ChatterPix Kids is a FREE app created by Duck Duck Moose. This app is super easy to use even by the youngest students. The app counts down 3, 2, 1, Go ... as a lead for students. We have creatively used this app to make things "talk". The app allows 30 seconds which is more than enough time to get your message across. We have also used iMovie to stream many individual chatterpix together.
