SonicPics is a simple app where students can select pictures and easily narrate them while they flip from one image to the next. Here are some ways it can be used:
Create book reviews or book trailers using a combination of photos of the book itself and student drawings of characters, settings or scenes
Create “wonder videos” with drawings and verbal questioning about topics of curiosity inspired by non-fiction reading
Publish audiobooks of original student writing with illustrations
Record and share student poetry, with original student artwork and recitation
Create illustrated audio-visual vocabulary guides
Draw and record math challenges for other classmates to solve
Use images and narration to explain and describe mathematical concepts
Create mini-documentaries about science or social studies topics
Create how-to videos or multimedia “expert books” to share student knowledge
Generate narrated photo-essays about community issues to share as public service announcements
Design narrated virtual tours of locations around the community or the world
Create a classroom news podcast to document and share learning from the day or week
Take quick fluency snapshots -- have kids take a photo of a page and then read the text in SonicPics
