My Take
I love the endless possibilities of this app as well as the user friendly environment. I don't have to spend much time with demonstration, the students are able to explore, experiment and create, helping each other along the way.
Students need the time and platform to consolidate learning and to create--this app supports both supporting the learning needs of individual students or group activities through class collaboration.
How I Use It
I have used this product in various activities in the library, computer lab and in after-school activities. After reading a story together, the students have created new endings, created parallel stories and the best--created their own stories after being inspired by a book or character. It has been used to create stories for their younger pals at school for holiday celebrations and "Pal" activities.
Students have created their own illustrations for concepts explored in class (vocabulary, science or math concepts) using the app to create learning guides to assist their own learning and to share with others.
