A day at the beach

Today we created a electronic book story with the kids using 2simple app. The point was to use their imagination to created their own story by drawing or adding images. This app is great because it helps out in literacy since it allows the kids to add words or even record themselves. The app itself is a very educational tool that will help the children in developing their verbal skills and creativity.

The story that I created as an example is a story about a little girl that is going to the beach on the first day of summer. By using the different tools and different options that the app gave me I created a scenery at the beach with the sand castle. The little girl having fun and the big waves that brought her castle down. We wrote certain parts with words and the rest with voice recorded in that way we can show more sound effects and it makes the story more interesting. The purpose of this app is for kids to develop their social skills by interacting with their peers and reaching themselves with more verbally skills. Their is no right or wrong to this in which it wont make the kid feel like a failure. The good thing about this app is that it's designed for 3 year old's and up. The app requires an adult interpreter to figure out the beginning but after that the child will be able to use it on its own. The app invites social skills as I mentioned this before. Also invites the kids to explore the world outside of their own story.
