Shadow Puppet App

Shadow Puppet is an app in the iTunes store through which students can create videos, picture slideshows, or a combination of the two, and students can then narrate over the video and add music. There is also a feature that allows users to draw and type on the screen and to include that in their video. The videos are easy to export and share, and the website has many lesson ideas and advice on how to effectively implement this app into the classroom. This app allows students to be as creative as they would like while still focusing on the content areas assigned to them for the projects they are doing. They could also use this app as a way to do book reports or to participate in book talks. There are so many applications and uses for this app, and the combination of features that allow for the inclusion of text and narration can be used as practice for spelling, pronunciation, reading, and listening, especially for EL's.
