The best apps for you!
And they're all free!
WOICES
How to use it in the classroom: Assign students the task of researching a place, and creating their own tour audioguide with facts and the history of the place assigned.
ANIMOTO
Create video collages from photos, video clips, or text! You can choose what you like to upload from your mobile device or computer, add any music you would like from your music library, and Animoto will put it together with your choice of theme. A great resource for visual learners and students who like to use technology and take photos!
How to use it in the classroom: On a field trip, students can record and document the day on their mobile devices through photos or videos. At the end of the day, assign students to create a video via Animoto to highlight their favourite parts and explain why and what they learned!
STORYKIT
This would be an excellent tool for students in elementary or junior high to use. As a teacher, you can assign the students something to write about, or it could be used just as a creative writing tool as well.
TOONTASTIC
How to use it in a classroom: great for elementary students. After reading a story, assign students to create a sequel or prequel to the story using the same characters and have them create it on Toontastic!
MOBL21
How to use it in a classroom: because this is a study app, as a teacher I would encourage students to use the app to prepare for any tests or quizzes.
