Since I have an iPhone, I downloaded the suggested video apps to give them a try. Sock puppets is a silly app where you choose a sock puppet to animate. You get to pick the background and props, then you record your message. The sock puppet says your message in a silly voice. I'm not sure what the practical applications would be for this app, but it's definitely fun! My daughters especially enjoyed using it.
Tellagami allows you to create a character and give it your voice. The final product can be shared via social media sites, or even by text. It would be fun if all students had access to this technology. It would be an awesome way to do an "exit ticket." Instead of writing something down, they could record their answers to my questions or tell me what they learned and then post it to a class Facebook page!
Videolicious is like a slideshow with a recorded message. The free version is limited to one minute, with one sound bite and 10 supporting shots. Again, if all students could use this, they could do a quick presentation of a topic or it would be a fun way to do a "get to know you" activity at the beginning of the year.
