IPad App: ShowMe
Easy whiteboard for the IPad that includes drawing and picture tools (either snapping a photo or importing). The real added benefit is the recording tool that allows you to narrate and illustrate. Once done you upload your lesson, which is viewable through the showme site or easily embedded to a wiki/webpage, tweeted, or emailed to you. ShowMe also has a collection of lessons for you to browse for ideas. Reviews here.
Web Tool: StoryJumper
This online, interactive children's book maker has limitless potential at all ages. As part of the writing process, creating children's books is beneficial and challenging for all ages of students.
StoryJumper includes sample graphics to illustrate books quickly. For more advanced illustrations, students can import graphics/images from the web or scan photos or artwork they create themselves.
Hosted by StoryJumper, the books are easy to share with parents or grandparents and link easily to your class website or wiki. As an added feature, they look excellent on Smartboards!
