App #9:<\/strong>\u00a0In our effort to highlight the\u00a0SAMR Model<\/a>\u00a0of integration of technology, we’ve been considering what activities might fit into\u00a0Redefinition<\/strong>\u00a0(technology that allows creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable).<\/p>\n

What activities might have significant impact to student outcomes? The “tell your story” concept remains one of the powerful ways we have to teach others, to increase audience, to learn new processes, to share expert knowledge in safe ways (consider also that shy student in your class).<\/p>\n

Animations are live and well. While many are found in game environments, why not connect our learning outcomes above to the creation of animations – and no, you won’t spend a ton of time learning software! \u00a0Tellagami<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>is an app for ipad or android (love that) and produces animated characters (much like\u00a0Voki<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>or other\u00a0avatar programs)<\/a>\u00a0that can be saved to the camera library, imported into other apps or uploaded to a blog or other website.

Have students create a teaching session or speech (in another language like French, Spanish, etc.) and create a gami to deliver the content. \u00a0How about the significance of a historic event via a gami? Complete a biography of a personal hero? Tell a story from the first person perspective. Or how about in Special Ed, where a student might need lots of practice in speaking. \u00a0Capturing and “freezing words in time” offers a great way to reflect upon both speech and ideas.
\nWhat makes this app a ‘cut above’ are several things: ability to insert own backgrounds (including drawings), ability to save to camera library and no wifi needed unless you wish to upload to a site. \u00a0This allows for so many other possibilities to import to other apps like\u00a0Explain Everything<\/a>, iMovie or transferred to a computer (mpeg4) – now we have to talk about workflow. \u00a0(Stay tuned for more on this in later posts.)<\/p>\n
