Imagistory – An App for Narrating Picture Books

September 30, 2014 by admin

Screen Shot 2014-09-29 at 10.09.11 AM Imagistory is a neat iPad app on which children can narrate picture books. The app provides children with a wordless picture books. Children are free to record themselves telling a story about the pictures in the books. Children can record and re-record stories as often as they like.

Imagistory is easy to use. To get started open the app and select one of the free picture books (additional picture books are available through in-app purchases). When you’re ready to record allow the app to access your iPad’s camera and microphone. The app asks for camera access so that you can take a picture to use as your author profile. As soon as you open the book the app is recording your voice. As you swipe through the pages the recording continues. At the end of the book you can save play the story back, save the story, or record a new version of your story.

Imagistory could be a good app for young students to use to practice developing the plotline of a story.

July 30, 2013 by admin

tellagamiTellagami is a free iPad that elementary school students will enjoy using to create narrated animations. If you have ever used Voki or GoAnimate, Tellagami will feel familiar to you. Tellagami allows your students to create customized animated scenes in a matter of minutes. To create a narrated, animated scene students simply open Tellagami and tap “create.” After opening the create menu students will see a default character and background scene. The characters can be altered by selecting from a big menu of customization options. The background scenes can be changed by selecting from a menu or by inserting a picture from the iPad’s camera roll. To add their voices to their animations students simply tap “record” and start talking. Completed animations are stored on the camera rolls of your students’ iPads. Tellagami does not require students to create accounts or have an email address.

Consider having your students use Tellagami to create narrated animations of their favorite scenes from books that they’ve read. Or have them use Tellagami to animate parts of stories that they have created from scratch.
