ChatterPix Kids App

My students have a new favorite app, the ChatterPix Kids App.  This is a great, easy to use, free app where you can take any photo and make it talk.
We had concluded our first round of nonfiction research and were ready to teach each other what we had learned about our topic.  I had my students create an image in the ChatterPix Kids app to teach each other about their topics.  The students selected an image from the website www.Pics4Learning.com.  This site has safe, free, copyright friendly images for students to use in creating projects in the classroom.  Students scanned the QR code below with the iPads to get to the website to find a photo that correlated to their topic.

Need some ideas for using ChatterPix Kids or Padlet in your classroom?  Here is the Padlet wall our school created with some ideas to get you started.
