Have you been looking for a few easy ways to have your students create using the iPad? In this session we will be looking at 5 iPad apps that you can quickly incorporate into a project in your classroom.

Word Clouds by ABCYa.com
Word Clouds is an app that students can use to visually see words that describe a story, character, or poem. Students can copy and paste text from their reading to look for big ideas. During a writing workshop, word clouds can be use to find most commonly used words. Word Cloud allows for customization of colors and layout. It is perfect to use along with another project in class.

TeleStory
TeleStory is an app that students can use to tell a story with video and effects. Record a news report, give a weather report, be a book critic and recommend stories, or pretend you are a famous rock star. Enjoy storytelling in a fun, new way.

Tellagami
Tellagami is a nice app to use to share what you know with an avatar and picture. Customize an animated avatar, upload your photo, describe or tell what you know or have learned.

Haiku Deck

Haiku Deck will allow you and your students to quickly create simple presentations. Import your own images or search through their online image bank. Presentations are accessible both online and through the app.

Paper Slide Videos are done in one take, with no pausing during the recording process. There is also no editing involved, which makes the process of publishing very quick. It is a good idea to story board your ideas and rehearse prior to recording the video.
