  1. Sounds like a cool app! I'm using "Story Creator" with my first graders. They absolutely love it! We've used it to create orignial stories using student drawings, photos taken by students, student voices, and text.

  3. This looks like a great app to let students share their original stories and books. They would love to take pictures and read their story. Then we could email them to parents to see and hear. They could also use ti to retell a story and take pictures of the book cover and draw the beginning, middle, and end. I can't wait to try this after the winter break.

  4. I can see this being a great app for our 2nd graders to demonstrate and explain how to do a math problem. With Everyday math being so "different" from how most of our students' parents learned how to do math these would be great short (student made) video clips added to our Edmodo pages for explanation and reminders once students are home doing homework.
