Exploring Creativity and Digital Storytelling on the iPad

The students in Mrs. Naiman's Grade 3 class used the Explain Everything  app to create a science video.  They were given the challenge of building a strong and stable structure that would be load bearing.   Take at look at this exciting video that was created by one of the students.  

In Ms. Schwartz’s class, students used the Book Creator app to document the process of building a structure that based on specific criteria and mathematical measurements. Students included their hypothesis, experiment results and conclusions.  Click here to view a sample.

In the Grade 3 social studies unit, Living and Working in Ontario, students in Ms. Haber’s class were provided with a Book Creator file with an assortment of pictures of different communities. The students were then asked to sort the pictures according to the community type: Urban, Suburban, or Rural. The students then added in words, sound clips, and/or illustrations to each section of their book in order to describe what each community looks and sounds like.
