We are beginning to use a fun literacy Ipad app called Our Story to help develop language skills through creating digital books and we would like to share our digital ‘Our Stories’ with you at home. The digital books will aim to help develop vocabulary by focusing on key words from children’s topics of interest. Children will take photos, video clips, record their voices and be supported in tying the text in order to create their digital book.
“The stories that you create can be sent to another iPad which has the Our Story app installed. This will be exactly the same story as the one you created. The person who receives this story can then view it and if they want can edit the story, and even send it back to you. For those who do not have an iPad you can send them a PDF file (i.e. pictures and text but no sound) which can be viewed or printed. We provide a range of printing options which include the possibility of creating small booklets.”
The App is a free download
If you would like support in using this app please see Miss Wilkinson or Miss Kelly.
Keep an eye out for our Nativity digital book coming soon! We can share it with you via email.
