Share a picture, note or link
Chirp allows you to wirelessly share a note, link or picture to an iPhone, iTouch, or iPad. Make sure that everyone that you want to share with is in the app and that the volume is turned up. Tap the + symbol at the bottom and select what you want to chirp. Then, to chirp out the link, picture or note tap the ~ at the bottom.
Chirp is an iPhone app but can be added to an iPad. When looking for it in the app store just select iPhone at the top left.
Popplet Lite Example:
This is an example of how we used popplet lite to find adjectives to describe birthday girl/boy. 1st, Take a picture while in the app and put the student in the center. Next, call each student up to add a word that describes the birthday boy/girl. Last, Share the finished product with all the students to talk about all the adjectives that were used.
Pinterest Idea
Move this to an App by using PicCollage, PoppletLite, Skitch, or Educreations. If you use Educreations each student could record why they chose that word. Love it!
Character Descriptions Example:
I created this in PicCollage, but there are many other apps that you could use too.
I took a picture of the character but you could just type the character's name. Then, add text to describe the character.
Twist: Take a picture of the text where it shows proof of why you choose that word. (text evidence.)

WWII Memories
This is an idea that came from a 5th grade teacher that usually has the students come up with a box of mementos from WWII. She did not want to have 100 boxes that she would have to find a place for this year, so we came up with the Padlet idea. They will take pictures of the items and display them on the Padlet board. She created one account and each student will create their own board. The students will be using their Google Drive to upload all of their personal pictures in and they rest will be downloaded from the internet.
