Apps for evaluation of Creating

 

 

 

Toontastic
Toontastic is MUST HAVE storytelling app for every Kindergarten through 5th grade classroom. A few features that make this app stand out from other storytelling apps are it's flexible graphic organizer, tools for drawing unique settings and characters, screen animation, audio recording, and a safe online environment for publishing. As a member of a global audience, students can share and listen to stories on the Toontube site. In addition, a wonderful, interactive globe shows the approximate origin of every story. Toontastic provides fantastic opportunities to generate ideas, construct story outlines, and produce unique communication with a worldwide audience. They also provide a website for educators to share lesson ideas and form partnerships.

 

 

Book Creator
Book Creator provides a quick and easy way for students to create eBooks and instantly share them on iBooks. Book Creator fits in perfectly with Bloom's insistence that students produce unique forms of communication. Story creation also provides opportunities to practice designing story structure, assembling content and creating a final product to share with an audience. To watch how easy it is to work with view their promotion video.

 

 

Storyboards
Storyboards will help budding filmmakers, and screenwriters produce plans for upcoming movies. An excellent tool useful for the planning and designing camera shot sequences, students can pick from a range of camera angles, action poses, backgrounds, characters, props and costumes.

 

 

iMovie
iMovie is by far the best app for movie creating on the iPad. All aspects of the cognitive level creating exist within this app. Students can merge photographs, film clips, sound tracks, artwork, audio files, and sound effects into unique combinations. The timeline allows opportunities to learn how to construct compositions, and arrange content. When the process is complete, the final product is available for the world to see.

 

 

Garageband
Garageband does for music, what iMovie does for film. With this app, students can generate, compose and produce their own music. There is a wide selection of "smart" instruments within the app, app plugins, and built-in microphones. Students can arrange and design up to eight soundtracks. When finished, email or upload completed songs directly into iTunes. With this app, anyone can play with the band.

 

 

TinkerBox HD
TinkerBox HD is a free app that gives students an opportunity to invent machines that capitalize basic engineering concepts. The goal is to manipulate the organization of a wide array of mechanical gadgets so that they solve a given problem. Using trial and error, students can arrange and re-arrange elements until they design a successful solution. The invent mode lets users create their own machines. Student can share their creations through TinkerBox News.

 

 

iBrainstorm
iBrainstorm is the perfect tool to use for idea generation and focusing on possible solutions. Sort ideas recorded on post-it notes into groups or hierarchies. Assign colors to each post-it while separating ideas. Electronically collaborate with iBrainstorm with up to four iPhones. Draw or notes additional notes on the background.

Juxtaposer
Juxtaposer is the ideal way to demonstrate how the combination of divergent ideas can create new products. It is incredibly easy to overlay and merge images. With transparent brushes, stamp tools and layering options, students can playfully generate ideas for story characters or product designs.

 

 

123D Sculpt
123D Sculpt lets users create virtual sculptures. This is another great tool to build products designs and construct models for plans. The app also has an entertaining function that allows users to paint photographic images directly onto a sculpture. This app may be a bit difficult for younger students to manage but is perfect for upper elementary and middle school students and of course, adults.

 

 

Faces iMake
Faces iMake merges images of everyday items into collages. There are 20 different categories of images (school, food, kitchen, etc), frames, head shapes, soundtracks, and art tutorials. Apps like this can help students develop flexible and fluent thinking necessary for creative problem solving. Consider asking students "How many different images can be created with a pear?" Opportunities to generate as many ideas for the possible use of an image are excellent exercises for productive thinking.

 

 

Self_Assembly
Self_Assembly is an app for designing molecules. Students choose groups of molecules and then observe how they naturally aggregate into larger structures. While playing with particle combinations and adjusting temperatures, students will be learning about chemistry. This app takes advantage of idea generation and the virtual production of chemicals. Afterwards students can send photographs of chemical structures to door24land@photos.flickr.com.
