Can be used for an English class.
You tell the students to make specific sounds of objects animals etc and once they have done so you tell them a story which includes the sound of the object or animal. You will have to tell them before hand that once their object or animal is mentioned in the story they have to play their sound. :)

Using old tech to make birds and then using madpad to give them a morning chorous

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Our final meeting of the year was inspired by birds and flight. Teachers, students and pupils came together for this event.

We began by deconstructing electronic devices such as old laptops, phones, videos and DVD players using pliers, screwdrivers and hammers! The children's curiosity was engaged by having the opportunity to look inside these familiar devices. Helen has made this set of slides to help us learn more about the insides of the devices we were looking at.

We used what we found inside the equipment to construct birds or to attach to cardboard birds. It was a challenge to choose and join the parts into birds that could stand up but there were plenty of adults around to help.

After the birds were constructed we used the app MadPad compose and record a 'song' for our birds. As a finale we looked at each bird and listened to the songs and later, we attached this to each bird using a QR code.

Here is a video of all the birdsong being played at the same time:

You can see many of the ideas and inspiration for this event here on our Padlet.

This idea was inspired by the AccessArt Share-a-Bird project - you can read more about it here and maybe sign up to take part. Birds made of recycled phones were also featured in the Digital Revolution exhibition:

We have also made a Pinterest board with some ideas for making 2d and 3d birds from card, folded paper, wire and other materials:

We have been taking tech apart and annotating with Skitch:

We were intrigued by these Lego birds from Thomas Poulsom:

We'll be using the app MadPad HD to remix sounds and compose birdsongs. Here is an excellent collection of ideas for exploring creativity and sound with iPads from Katie Wardrobe using the apps MadPad along with QR codes.

We have some ideas about continuing this project after the event by allowing the our flock to migrate around schools...

Designing a scavenger hunt for a team to collect images around an environment.

This activity is based on an original idea from Ed Tech Workshop.
Suitable for
All ages who can read and write simple questions and use an iPad camera.
What you need What you do
Explain to the groups that you are going to create scavenger hunts for each other and that the idea is to do some finding out and exploring. The first job is to explore the environment and think about what items to include in the scavenger hunt. Encourage groups to choose a theme and to be creative in their ideas. They are going to use iPads to collect photos of things they find and then arrange them according to themes such as colours, natural objects, shapes or signs.

The next step is to plan a hunt list for another group. For example 'Can you find...something green, something smooth, interesting, red, old, circular, alive etc'. They create a template in Pic Collage. Groups then swap scavenger hunts and aim to add photos of the objects they find.

They import these into PicCollage and arrange and annotate on the page. There are options to add borders, to clip elements from photos, to edit photos for effects, brightness, sharpness and colours, and to annotate by drawing over photos. Text, stickers and backgrounds can be added to the page.
Learning Benefits
Participants gain experience of group working and of documenting their exploration of a place. They practise photo manipulation skills and think about page layout options.

Images are from the Ed Tech Workshop blog.
Taking it Further
Additional challenges can be based on using the photo editing tools to produce a pleasing poster of images. Groups might collect sounds to upload to Padlet using Audioboo, or Croak.It, or to VoiceThread in response to a set of questions based on sound in the environment.
