Pic Collage for Kids - the best and safest visual and photo editor for home and schools!

I started using Pic Collage for Kids instead of the regular Pic Collage.  When searching for images inside Pic Collage, the search was much safer than the original.  More info on the Apple site: https://goo.gl/ZkXPTO

Seesaw - Digital Student Portfolios

The Seesaw app is one of the coolest apps I have seen in quite some time.  We just started using this at our school.  The app will let students take pictures of their work, record their voice, create a video, draw, and more.  My teachers love the fact that they can see all of their student work on another iPad or computer.   Each child selects their name when adding content which adds it to their digital portfolio.

What a powerful tool!  Imagine sharing student work at a parent-teacher conference. Set up your free account at Seesaw today!

30 Hands App

Have you been using the 30 Hands App. My kids love it!!! Today, they made a presentation on Animal Groups. Students were able to add a slide for each group (mammals, birds, etc.)  Then students could add a picture, write information, and even record their voice.  You can easily save your video project to the camera roll. 30 Hands is Free in the App store. Try it out!

App for Productivity - Venn Diagram

Are you using the Venn Diagram app on the iPad? I used this with a small group last week. Students read non-fiction text about two different animal groups.  My students created a Venn Diagram and were able to email it to me.  We even emailed the work to their parents. They loved it!

Balloon Stickies Plus App

Balloon Stickies Plus lets you add speech bubbles to any image on your iPad.  Students could add speech bubbles to a picture of Abraham Lincoln to show what they know about his life.  They could even add speech bubbles to objects like The Alamo to describe details about the monument.

Popplet Lite App

Popplet Lite is an App for your ideas.  Just like Kidspiration, students can create bubbles (or popplets). Students can write inside the popplets and even add pictures from your camera roll.  This App can be used in any grade or subject area.

Postino

Postino is a neat App that lets you create a postcard.  Once you create the postcard, you can very easily email it.  This would allow you to print it if needed. You can customize and put your own picture on the cover of the postcard.  Students could create a post card about a historical place that they are studying, such as The Alamo.

Pic Collage is my "go to" app.  It can be used in any subject area. I've used it with Kindergarten through 5th grade.  Students can add images from the web or take them with the camera.  They can add text boxes to label as well.  I recently had Kindergarteners take pictures of the life cycle of a butterfly.  They organzied their pictures into a collage and labeled each stage. They loved it!
