<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One of my favourite things to do is to look at apps and find
ways they can be used in the classroom which could possibly go beyond what they
were originally designed for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are many apps which allow you to take a photo a day
and have it display as a calendar. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
apps often provide the ability to add details to the image. These apps can have
many uses in the classroom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

You can select up to 5 colours and alter the percentage of colour by dragging the coloumns. You can also add keywords as tags to refine the search. When you click on an individual image it gives you information about the image.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">The technique of layering images, masking and erasing, makes it possible to
manipulate images to create illusions. This can often be done using two images - a background image and a foreground image. Parts of the foreground image are erased to reveal the background image. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">There are many ways this technique can be used with students:</span></div>

Learning the basics of computer programming can be a useful skill. There are many apps and software designed to be user friendly for students of varying ages, to learn how to code using visual interpretation with drag and drop functionality. There are also games which involve giving instructions and using commands. These processes can help develop skills in sequencing, literacy and numeracy, problem-solving, creativity, and communication. </div>

</div>
<div align="LEFT">
A Flipped Classroom is a teaching model which reverses traditional methods. Instruction is delivered at home through interactive websites, teacher-created videos or content and moves the homework style learning to the classroom. </div>
<br />
Class time is used for creating tasks, exercises and problem solving while the teacher is present to assist and give immediate feedback whereas the homework is designated for learning content and students can form questions about what they have learnt to prepare for their next lesson. This allows the teacher more time to interact with the students.<br />
<div align="LEFT">
</div>
Some teachers like to create informative videos or ask students to create the videos for younger students. These can be made using screencasting software and some apps, such as: <br />
<br />
<strong>Apps:</strong><br />
<br />
These apps allow you to record your drawing and narrate at the same time. Enabling you to explain a concept or give instructions. Also great for students to demonstrate their understanding of a concept. You can also upload images and diagrams in many of these apps.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There are many reasons why we use images in the
classroom. With the internet, we now
have access to more images than we have before.
However, we need to be aware of which images we use and the copyright
restrictions.</span></div>

For years Language teachers have been asking me how they can save their Vokis without having students sign in. This is a great way for students to present work from the web.<br />
<br />
Vokis in particular can be used for students to demonstrate understanding, reflecting, learning words and greetings, asking questions, responding and give instructions.Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075394594731323993noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321613061460327531.post-31634281671076696312011-07-17T09:22:00.002+10:002011-07-17T09:23:31.529+10:00Add interest with Glass GiantThere are some fun online sign generators available. A great one to play with is <a href="http://www.glassgiant.com/make_pictures.php">Glass Giant</a>. You simply type in the message you want displayed and the site adds it to an image. I like to use it to create images to use in presentations but you could also make images for work sheets, virtual classrooms or decorate your classroom walls. Here are a few example.<br />

Open <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity</a> and click on the record button and speak to record your voice, click on stop when finished (headset with a microphone is best for this).</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div>This activity can be created by the teacher or students can apply their learning by creating their own.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are a few examples of how this process can be used:<br />
<br />
• a talking ebook <br />
<br />
• a talking map <br />
<br />
• a talking timeline <br />
<br />
• add sounds to music notes<br />
<br />
• add music to images<br />
<br />
• add avatars and create talking characters<br />
<br />
• add voice to photos<br />
<br />
• flash cards <br />
<br />
• add voices to speech bubbles in comics <br />
<br />
• learning languages <br />
<br />
• attach speech to images and students give description <br />
<br />
• students identify aspects of diagrams or cycles <br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">With the introduction of the Australian Curriculum, there is an emphasis on the use of Multimodal Text in English. ICT offers a great range of tools to allow students to create digital multimodal texts, such as comics, animations, digital storytelling, video & audio, ebooks, poster & cover design and game design . </div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">What are multimodal texts? </span></strong></div><br />
A text may be defined as multimodal when it combines two or more semiotic systems. There are five semiotic systems in total:<br />
<br />
1. Linguistic: comprising aspects such as vocabulary, generic structure and the grammar of oral and written language <br />
<br />
2. Visual: comprising aspects such as colour, vectors and viewpoint in still and moving images <br />
<br />
3. Audio: comprising aspects such as volume, pitch and rhythm of music and sound effects <br />
<br />
4. Gestural: comprising aspects such as movement, speed and stillness in facial expression and body language <br />
<br />
5. Spatial: comprising aspects such as proximity, direction, position of layout and organisation of objects in space. <br />
<br />
Multimodal texts can be delivered via different media or technologies. They may be live, paper, or digital.<br />

So I thought I would share some information about this application. It is a free software you can download. Students can add images, text and flash animations to create an interesting ebook. This is great for storytelling, presenting a research task, the alphabet, learning a language, instructional manual, art portfolio, digital photo album, etc. The album can be exported as a flash file.<br />

A colleague of mine passed on a link to me called <a href="http://avenscorner.com/flashgamepage.aspx?gameurl=comic/comic&title=Free%20Preschool%20Online%20Games%20-%20Create%20Your%20Own%20Cartoon%20Strip">Comix</a>. It is described as a free preschool online game. It is very easy to use with simple click and drag on the page functions. <br />
<br />
<br />
The site offers a range of images students can choose from. In the Draw section ,there are text options with speech bubbles or text box. You easily change the size of the cell and add more. Students can also draw and upload their own images. The great thing about this site is you don’t need to register and you can save the image as a jpeg when click on Publish. (It asks for author's name but you don't need to fill it out to save)<br />
<br />
Students can use this site for many purposes:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Creating a multimodal text</li>
<li>As inspiration for a story</li>
<li>To interpret a story</li>
<li>Practice spelling words</li>
<li>Create a sequence</li>
<li>Create Big, Bigger, Biggest images</li>
<li>A poster</li>
</ul><br />

It also allows students to develop problem solving and decision making skills while being creative and having fun. I have included a few links to sites to give ideas and a table to show how animations can be used across subject areas.<br />
