March 9, 2016
In today’s collection we are sharing with you some very good digital storytelling apps to use with kids and young learners. These are particularly ideal for enhancing kids literacy skills. You can have kids work either in pairs or alone on creative projects that involve composing personal stories (imaginary or real). The apps provide them with a number of interesting features to help them make their stories engaging and informative. They can record their own voice for narration, use pictures, characters and images and backgrounds to bring life to their stories. And when they are done they can easily share it with the whole class and get feedback from their peers.
