Eric Carle Books

Before Winter Break this year our Kindergarten students created books in Art class inspired by Eric Carle's books and illustrations. Our Kindergarten teachers wanted to make these books come alive and allow the students to be able to tell their stories.

We used the 30 Hands app to take pictures of each page the students created, which was done by adults, and narrate the stories. The work the students did was unbelievably and their stories were so incredibly creative!

After we complete this task the videos were uploaded to Dropbox to be stored and available on the iPads. What I really love about the Dropbox app is that it allows you to download the videos and save them to your iPad from within the app. I have not found another app that allows for this at this point.

After the videos were all uploaded to Dropbox, our next goal was to have the students import these videos to their blogs on KidBlog and give that blog post a title. The students very successfully imported their videos, we did this in small groups, and added their name for the title of their blog post. A teacher added the end of the title for the students for the sake of time.
