The assignment for my 5-year-old:
- Pick out a book, read it, and do a short book review.
- Put a production together in a video using Apple Clips.
Here is what she created on her own:
Just as she was finishing up, her little kindergarten buddy from down the street rang the doorbell.
She convinced him very quickly to make his own book review.
She mentored him on how to use the program and they worked together on reading his book.
Here is his final product.
Both kids practiced their sentences on each page and were challenged with sounding out new words. They took a picture of each page first with the Camera App and did a voice-over afterwards of the text on each page. They deleted and re-recorded the video clips that they did not like.
He rang our front doorbell only a couple minutes before they started this. You can see that his jacket is still on. He had never used the Clips App before.
Students can quickly save their production and upload it to their SeeSaw journal to document their progress in reading.
Creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking skills... Have we reached these targets?
How do you use Apple Clips in your classroom?
