I used this app below to create a multimedia lesson for the 21st literacies learner. We have been using the iPad so I thought that the students would benefit from creating their own stories with the help of the creative choices they could pick. I have been letting the students follow along with stories in the iPad and interact with them by flipping pages and such. This app allows the students to pick from three objects as the bus driver a character in the app asks them to. They use motor skills and creativity. Each student created their own story and a drawing to go with it. It has such ideas as Dont' Let the Pigeon Rule the World or wear purple underpants. I found this app to meet the needs of my students and yet it was fun and very hands on for them while they learned to discuss sequence of events and details in stories. I hope you find it to be a helpful tool for your 21st century learners.

Multimedia project October 27, 2011
Well I have made an awesome little birds story. I really liked making this project for my parents of my class. It really helped me educate myself about my iPad2. Although I know we should not use them all the time. My students and I have gained a lot of technology awareness this year from me having it in the classroom. My project allowed me to look closely at the gains my students receive because of their interaction with it. I realized that the ipad2 helps with motor skills, eye hand coordination, and interesting subjects and themes. The students have been interactive with apps, stories, and leveled games. It has allowed me to help my nonverbal student be able to repeat and say and identify the letters A and B. My project was a great way for me to reflect on the positive aspects of this new technological literacy tool. I really liked how it allows the parents and teachers to be in control of the sites children can access. I look forward to more great experiences with my ipad2.
