iPad and Web-based Apps for Formative Assessment
This section will show you the general apps for your classroom that will allow students (and teachers) to create great content.
Skitch
This app is great for editing a picture (blurring, cropping, etc.), adding annotations, highlighting details or labeling parts of the picture.
Examples:
- Posting pictures of students on Twitter (blurring their face)
- Great for adding text to pictures to track experiments or label parts of an object in science.
ACTIVITY
Find a picture of a flower, insect or any other object that has parts you can label. Use Skitch to label the various parts and then save it to your camera roll.
Pic Collage
This app makes collages of pictures. This is great for a project that may require multiple pictures, objects, logos. Editing is super easy and you can use free form or template placements.
Example:
- You could create a collage of pictures of your favorite sports teams.
ACTIVITY
Using pic collage add pictures to showcase your favorite sports teams or your favorite actor/actress. Try for around 4-6 pictures, objects, etc and be sure to use the text feature to give it a title or more detail.
Popplet
Use this app to make graphic organizers for story pre-writing or just brainstorming ideas. You can even use to draw timelines or to display connecting food-webs and more.
Example:
- Use to create of graphic organizer of labeling Inherited Traits vs. Learned Behaviors
- Create a timeline of WWII events adding pictures and text from important events horizontally.
ACTIVITY
Use Popplet to brainstorm ideas of what you think the classroom of 2020 will look like. Make sure you connect your thoughts and then take a screenshot of your finished popplet when done.
Thing Link
Once a drawing, picture or collage is already made, use Thing Link to add a layer of interactive objects (links, video, audio, text, etc.) on top of the picture.
Examples:
- Create picture vocabulary cards that say the name in English and then Spanish to help ESL students.
- After creating a timeline in Popplet, add video, websites, and/or soundclips to the timeline to embed on a website.
ACTIVITY
Use your previous creation form Popplet or Pic Collage and add a layer of interactiveness using video, audio, links, text or more.
Sound Cloud
Create your own personal audioclips* that are stored and then export via a link. Add your own personal audio to your ThingLink.
* 5 minutes is the longest you can create for free use (2-3 minutes is ideal)
