The principle goal of education is to create men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done. Jean Piaget

SparkleFish and StoryLines

This week in Technology students are using two new apps to work on English and Grammar.

SparkleFish:


SparkleFish allows students to build stories using their own voices. Students select a story to build then answer questions about their stories by using the built in microphone.

StoryLines:


StoryLines allows students to work in groups to create a "Story Line". Each student selects a vocabulary word or quote to begin a StoryLine. Then the student passes the iPad to the next student who then illustrates the word or quote. The iPad is then passed to the next student who has to title the StoryLine and can only use the previous drawing as a reference. This process goes on until the StoryLine starter gets their iPad back. The app then replays every action from the process.
