This week in 3B we were asked to explore two new apps - Storykit and Strip Design. Our teacher asked us to find out how to use each app and to think about how we could use them in our History unit.
Here are some things we discovered about Storykit.
- You can go to paint, camera or photo library.
- You can take photo and put them into a story book.
You can also go to the photo library and put them into a story book.
- You can write lots of stories.
- You can make collages out of pictures you have taken.
- You can type in text or you can record your voice.
- You can paint the background and then put typed text over the top
- You
have to make up your own story and you can write on the pictures you have drawn.
- You can change the size of the pictures.
Pat took a story about Alex and put a photo of him on the cover. Axelle liked how you could use any photo and write about that photo. Matina liked how she could take a photo and then draw over it with the paint tools.
Here are some things we discovered about Strip Design.
- You can take pictures and add details to them.
- You can add stickers to photos
- You can pick borders and backgrounds.
- You can select different layouts for your design.
- You can add text and then move it around the screen and make it bigger and smaller.
- When you take a photo you can take it in different modes, like 4 screen or fisheye.
Some of the class found this app to be a little bit hard to work out and had trouble taking pictures to add to the app.
Over the next few weeks, we will be using these apps to tell stories about the history of Mt Gravatt.
