 * Create more, consume less.**

It's time to shift the learning from a consumption model to a creating model. Come and spend the day exploring and learning about creation apps. You will have time to create something of your own. Together we will share the best creating apps and the way they are used effectively in classrooms. Create something you have been putting off. Work independently, with a partner or in a group and create an ebook, an audio file, a movie, a screen cast or any other type of text.

In the morning, we will have the opportunity to Skype with one of the app developer of [|My Story]. We will be able to ask direct questions to the developer and discuss their latest update on their app [|My Story 2.0] Together we can have rich dialogue about ways to infuse our classrooms with creating tools. In the afternoon, we have tentatively booked a Skype call with the app developer of Explain Everything. You will be able to ask questions directly and discuss their app.

Some suggested apps that we might explore:

[|My Story]

[|Explain Everything]

[|Pic Collage] Lets brainstorm together ways we can use these and other creation apps to connect with families. Here are some examples of ways I've used apps for Special Someone Day (Mother's Day or Father's Day) [|Special Someone Explain Everything] A message to a mom while the child draws a picture of their mom. There is nothing more precious then a young child's voice! [|A Padcast / Audio File message to someone special]

This session is intended as a time to learn and create together. You can suggest apps to explore or spend time using an app that you haven't had time to master. This time is for you to cocreate and learn alongside others. Bring your own device if possible. We will brainstorm ways creation apps can be used across the curriculum and the grade levels.

Come for the day or join in for a short time. It's up to you. Make the most of your time, share, create and learn. Check out the list of other resources at the bottom of this page.

I'm looking forward to spending some time creating with you.
