App Smashing to Create a Learning Artifact

Thanks to Allanah King, we are using her idea from ULearn 14 to continue to move our way up the SAMR ladder. The point is that these creative apps are not subject dependent, but can be used by all curriculum areas to demonstrate learning and understanding.

iStopMotion

We found this was a great way to record an event such as a tree that grow crystals over a 2 hour period. It was very effective and gave the children the experience in just over a minute which for 5 year olds is the perfect timeframe. This is the movie we made. The children added their understanding of the sequence of events that lead to the making of the tree.

If you wish to find out more the website is http://boinx.com/istopmotion/ipad/ This is a paid app, but I have found it very useful. The iStopCamera is the app which will turn your iPod, iPhone or another iPad into a remote camera on the same wifi network. Very useful if you have a tripod and you are using the app for stop motion animation.
