Presentations

These are only quick notes, so pardon the jumbled look. Jonathon and Angela. I loved the way that they put two apps together.  Particularly, the Glow art and Tellagami.  Cursive writing is an interesting medium to include, as well. I loved our discussion of Universal Design because we even spoke about how it relates to differentiation.  UDL uses backward design to plan ahead of time to differentiate for all.  I was pleased to hear that Angela is going to make use of Apps that she hadn't before.  This course certainly has helped us all.  Pic Play Post and Tellagami put together allows two Tellagami speeches to play simultaneously. They used video scribe in a very creative way, as well.

Ashley M. and Ainsley used  Imovie trailer to make a really creative movie about frizzy hair.  They used Sock Puppet App. to make a fun presentation, in which they can record words and it creates a puppet  voice for them. I also loved how they created
a full analogy using hair technology, it really worked well with
Shauna and Liz used video scribe.  It costs $5.99, but it makes things very interactive.  Volume purchase program will make Apps half price. I did not know this.They used video design and video scribe. They also make a movie that had a lot of special effects to make it more engaging.

Kate and Greg
I love the way you put all of the Apps at the bottom of all the screens on a background.  Kate you did a great job of clarifying disruptive technologies. The imovies clarified UDL.

Janet and Lyndsey told us we can get Ipads and Apps from the imovie was filled with a lot different images and features. Kidspiration clarified UDL very well.  We all needed to improvise at some point to get the audio to fit.  They used Pic Play Post to show how versatile ipads can be.

Simon and Eleanor
Pic Collage and audio combined music and an image. They used Strip Design and Tellagami.  Itrailer allows you to create a personalized video drasing from many sources. Stephen Hawking has a video called everbody technology.  Popplet is a very easy graphic organizer app. There is an Assistive Technology for Learning and Literature course offered at Acadia University. They used Doodlebuddy to incorporate Art design.

Ashley F. and Natalie used Tellagami mixed with another App, I think it was pic collage. They used imovietrailer to show Temple Grandin, who is a perfect example of Assistive Technology.  They made a real comic on the strip design.  Ashley drew on Educreations, and they recorded it on a separate Ipad.

Meaghan and Candice used Cloudart to introduce themselves, and Pic Collage Download can be purchased to Google a topic, download it and then import it into imovie.  This makes a much more appealing view and it means fewer computers to do it. they used Color splash. They imported a youtube video and then showed it in full screen, which I really thought was a nice effect. The Tellagami required a lot of working to get it the way they wanted it.  Some of these Apps require a  lot of playing with to use them effectively.

Christy was able to use three Apps on one slide.  I need more time to play with the Apps to become more comfortable with this.  She used Kidsdoodle, and then imported it into imovie. She even linked a website into the page.  StripDesign was mixed with another App to make a great cartoon design.  The images and the Word bubbles went together to make a nice description of Disruptive technology.  She had a great video scribe page mixed with a lot of other designs to make the page much more appealing.

 I am certainly inspired to make these intergations of Apps.  I think that the kids will love this kind of App smashing project. I am even more inspired now that I have just watched The Myth of Average.  I feel invigorated and yet I need so much more time playing with technology.
