Explore 1 app and explain how you would use that app in a lesson

//**Provide Stage/Year, what students would do (learning activities) and what teachers need to know or prepare beforehand**// || //**Assessment ideas (think about how would you collect work samples)**// ||
 * //**Name of App**// || //**Description of what app does**// || //**Ideas for integrating app into a lesson.**//
 * Book Creator || Lets students create their own books. Allows students to insert photos. || Use it to teach text types in multiple stages. Creating their own books depending on the assigned text type. Teachers would need to know how to insert photos into the app and make sure students know how to do it correctly to avoid having to do it for them. ||  ||
 * Tap Quiz maps || Provide the user with a world map. Gives the names of different countries and allows the user to locate each country. || Great for stage 2 and 3. The app allows students to test their geographical knowledge in terms of locating states in a particular region of the world which can then be transferred onto a worksheet for assessment purposes. ||  ||
 * My Create || Allows students to create animations with voice overs. || This app could be used to create social stories for learning support students. || Export videos to be submitted online through, vimeo, youtube or email. ||
 * Puppet Pals 2 || allows students to create an animated story. || Narratives, Character Descriptions (english), Role plays (PDHPE) || save animations to later go through, while animations are being shown, teacher uses a rubric to mark criteria. ||
 * Springbird || Addition and subtraction || ES1/S1 allows students to add and subtract at their own pace. Teacher needs to give a brief overview. || Hard to assess, although, there are stars given at the end to indicate how well the student has done. ||
 * Story Maker || Students create a 'story book'. Can add text, photos, voice recordings, draw etc. || I would use this for stage 1. Students can use this to create or publish an already written story OR listen to a story and then retell it in their own words. The teacher could record their own voice, then students listen and repeat to practice articulation and phonology. || Students can save story and then teacher look/listen later. Teacher would have to develop own assessment rubric. ||
 * Allen Adventure || Bullying, reading emotions, sharing, friendships, taking turns etc || It could be used as a classroom management tool for ESL or special needs students. ES1 S1 || You could use this as an intro to a personal development lesson, and assess with a worksheet ||
