Amazing apps

3F used 3 different apps this week. We used I can animate, Puppet pals and Storycube. Here is what some of the children learnt and discovered this week.

Jacob says that on Puppet Pals he learnt how to turn characters upside down.

Maia found out that she could change the backgrounds in Puppet Pals by pulling down on the bell cords.

In Storycubes, Hannah and Joshua found out that if she put two fingers onto a cube, she could move it around the screen.

Zacharie and Daniel learnt how to make characters in Puppet Pals different sizes.

Rory discovered that you can buy more characters to play with on Puppet Pals ( though he didn't buy anything).

On Puppet Pals, Alex found out how to look at movies that other people have created.

Lucy learnt how to record her voice into Puppet Pals.

Jack learnt how to use a toy to make an animation in I Can Animate.

In I can animate, Matina discovered that she could turn the iPod and that it turned around the image on the screen too.

Tahlia discovered how to turn the characters to face different ways on Puppet pals.

We then started thinking about how we could use these apps in different subject areas. We thought we could use I Can Animate to make movies for science, like how a plant grows. Another idea is that we could use Puppet Pals to make a story with a message. With Storycubes, you could get great ideas for writing stories in class.

Next week we are using an app called Epic Citadel and then learning how to use Sonic Pics.

Come back next week to find out how we went.
