There are many story telling apps available. All of the apps below are free (most of the apps on this blog will be free because I am cheap!). My favorite story telling app is Story Buddy 2, however it is possible that my students may prefer a different app so I provide choices (we all know voice and choice is invaluable in the classroom). I allow them to choose from several apps that are already on their classroom ipad:
Story Buddy 2
Book Magic
Scribble My Story
Here is the assignment I created using a story telling app. It is for my Human Development class. It is an introductory topic, which is another great reason to use easy apps because the students are just getting comfortable with the ipads. The topic is the Types of Development. Feel free to use this lesson in your own classroom, change it make it work for you, but I would LOVE comments and suggestions on how to make it even better! All of my assignments are a work in progress, I change them constantly to make them better.
