GLOGSTER!  If you haven't joined yet and started making your own digital posters, it's time!  Kids love using them and making them!  I've even had my first graders create them!  It's a great way for teachers to collect images, videos, and links all in one attractive page.  Check out my post for more info.

Hello!  I found a great blog with a good list of apps for creating.  I posted a link to the blog post and added some apps that I love using as well!  Check it out!  Many of them are FREE!  My favorite word! ;)

I have another great site to share for apps!  This is a Live Binder, which is awesome in and of itself as a tech tool, but this one is great because it has a lot of great apps for digital story telling.  They're free or nearly free!

Here's an easy app for your kids to use and get their hands on ipads/ipods to produce something...

Fotobabble    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fotobabble/id353078443?mt=8 
(FREE)

They take a picture, then they record their voices talking about it.

They could take a picture of something you did in science and then record themselves explaining the science investigation.
Or at math stations, the kids could snag a pic of something cool they did or noticed, and then record their thinking to share.
Writer's workshop... take a pic. and talk through their story before writing it...
The ideas are endless!
