Media Creation Apps for the Classroom
This morning I went to a talk by Jon Samuelson (ipadsammy.com), a teacher in Austin, TX who presented on methods for integrating the iPad into the classroom. He routinely uses his iPad in his lessons, introducing about one new app per week. I found it cool that he was using Keynote on the iPad for his whole presentation - sure saves a lot of switching when you need to showcase your apps! He kicked off his workshop with some initial advice on how to integrate iPad apps into the classroom:
- The lesson should not be about the app.
- Teacher should try the app before the lesson.
- You can work with multiple appps for better results.
- Don't be afraid to make mistakes, or not be the expert.
- SnapGuide: a free tool designed for creating mobile, step-by-step guides. It's best to have a class account. Students can use pictures and/or video and share their book via tweet, pin, or FB. The navigation is super and fits the iPad well, and the stories can be commented by others.
- iMovie: a paid app ($4.99) for creating great looking movie trailers by mapping segments of footage onto a template.
- Skitch: a free app for annotating images. His students used it in conjunction with SnapGuide by importing a SnapGuide slide, annotating it, exporting it back out as an image, and putting it back into SnapGuide. I saw a great skitch that a student did on polar bears.
- TypeDrawing - app for creating word art or captions for your images.
- ScrapPad - used for scrapbooks, but can be made for Flash cards. The files can be put into Animoto or Comic Life. Great for extra activities after students have finished their work.
