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)**// || - using this to determine students’ prior knowledge before a unit of work as a “KWL chart” (pre and post assessment) - students can go back to this and add onto it at anytime - during a lesson if students think of any ideas they can utilise this so they don’t forget their ideas (general brainstorming) || - Save their work into ‘Your Projects’; as a teacher you can view this and see what your students have done - ‘Export options’ save to photos or send an email (students can email this to each other and to the teacher) || Students can learn: How to create a narrative, sequencing of stories, retell a story/narrative, The app has two options;

How it would be used: This app would be used as part of a unit on space. It could be used both as a whole class, streamed on the IWB, or students exploring individually or in small groups. || This app doesn’t allow students to produce an assessment as part of its function, however, students could use the information to produce a work sample, either on the computer or handwritten, in the form of a research task, preparing an information report, etc. || The students are required to apply, reorganise and represent their knowledge. || This app can be used for all stages when modeled appropriately via apple tv.
 * MyCreate || Students create and share animated stories. It is a hand on app where students take photos and create stop-animation.

The app can be used in small groups, paired or individually.

Students can create a storyboard, and then use the app to make a stop-animation to represent their acquired knowledge.

Teachers beforehand need to ensure there is enough space for student to export their short videos to the iPads space when they finish. || Students can save their work to the iPads storage and later then the teacher is able to email it to themselves or upload it to the school wiki. In order to assess the stop-animation the teacher can create an assessment criteria previously and explicitly explain to the students what is expected of them e.g. What information must be included, how long it must go for etc. || Students could explain their understanding of an idea/concept/topic through storytelling Scaffolding – have their stories/script written first before recording it. || You can export the video onto the iPad and then email to yourself. ||
 * Puppetpals || This app allows users to create animations using preloaded characters and backgrounds or they can take photos of themselves, drawings or own backgrounds. || Students can create/act out an alternate ending to a story
