Toontastic iPads

I'd like to start out by saying that my second grade classroom  thorougly enjoys using iPads to learn. We have had many opportunities with many different Apps to explore learning to become stronger readers. Perhaps the most fascinating App for my second graders has been Toontastic. This App is a cartoon App where students can tell their own story and animate it with their own characters, voice and creative ideas. My students have had a great time creating their own stories or using stories and animating the characters. This App allows the students to choose characters, props and settings or create their own by drawing them. My favorite part is hearing the students voices as they begin to retell a story. I feel like my second graders are very motivated to use this wonderful App to continue to grow in the area of fluency.
