https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7 Post a screenshot of an app you have experimented with en-us 2021-04-06 06:29:15 UTC 2024-05-31 07:15:21 UTC hello@padlet.com 19957395 https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1405487307 I had a go at trying Penzu. 
I thought it was a good reflection tool and I like how it autogenerates quotes that could be used for lessons. 
However, you can't really use it for collaboration. I think Google shared docs are better. This tool instead would be better used for students to self-reflect and share their reflections with their teacher. ]]> 2021-04-12 02:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1405487307 19957395 https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1405498284 I think this is a great app - students  put on a mask and pretend to be a character. This would be great for activities such as 'hot seat' where students can build skills on character development and empathy. They can also use the app to record themselves as an expert explaining how to do something - linking to procedural texts.  ]]> 2021-04-12 02:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1405498284 https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1405745505 App: iMark
I downloaded the app 'iMark' and began exploring its functions. It is a simple tool that allows students to annotate an image. It provides a variety of features inlcuding crop, adding texts, pixelated images and grids. This is a great way for students to reflect on their learning where they can take photos during individual or collaborate learning and create a collage with text to portray what they have learnt.

It is a multipurpose tool that allows you to upload photos from your device or the internet and edit them. Students can annotate images, draw, add shapes and crate grids. Students can use this app to showcase their ideas or new information they have learnt. It is great for collaborative work as students can work together to edit their images.

It will be a simple tool to use as I have used this to outline the different front yards and backyard I am sorting to redo my house. This can be a good organisation tool for the kids to sort their ideas in a particular fashion while investigating that they can later use to reflect on. This could be used in place of a KWL chart where students annotate their findings and then after an inquiry based unit of work can reflect on and create another collage to compare with the gained knowledge. There is another tool that is in the form of lists which is in conjunction with this app called 'iMarkup organiser'. A list and. visual representation will complement each other and enhance student learning. ]]> 2021-04-14 13:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1416297085 https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1420008571 I decided to look into one of the AR apps and chose FarmAR. This app allows you to create an immersive world with 3D models of different animals and plants using your device. I believe this resource has great potential within the classroom setting as it grants students an opportunity to examine certain animals in the most hands on way other than seeing them in real life. Some schools are not given the opportunity to take students out of the classroom to see environments or animals so to be able to bring them into the classroom when teaching students about living worlds still gives them a greater experience.]]> 2021-04-15 08:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1420008571 https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1423768349 The Pic Collage app allows you to insert texts and images exhibiting visual and spatial semiotic systems etc. It has options for background ideas, template, stickers and the ability to return to any saved collage for editing. ]]> 2021-04-16 01:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1423768349 https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1423826086 Eda Mert  ]]> 2021-04-16 02:18:03 UTC https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1423826086 https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1424221358
Pic Collage
PicCollage is a fun poster designing app. With some brief experimenting  ai discovered I can use the app's own search bar to discover images on the web or even have access to various personal social medias as well as phone gallery to use pictures from there. The app has many cool tools including layout options from freestyle to template.
Text, doodles, and other cool stuff can be experiemented with to achieve many different original pieces of work.]]> 2021-04-16 05:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1424221358 https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1424899904 Minecraft Education
Minecraft is a fun app that uses creativity and mathematics. It also teaches architecture. In the app the students can build whatever they want and use their creativity. It uses mathematics in building to count how many blocks they will need to build a certain building. Students can create their own island and add their classmates into it so they can all work together.]]> 2021-04-16 11:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1424899904 https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1428073941 I downloaded iMark. I found this app to be fun, as there are many features to explore! This application would be suitable for the classroom- for both the student and the teacher as it allows ideas to be shared in a unique way, using features such as salient images, written text and zoom functions. This application could be used throughout all stages (focusing on different aspects of the visual) as it is not complicated to use. ]]> 2021-04-17 11:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/marialobytsynawesternsydney/tut7/wish/1428073941
