For Groundhog’s Day, students created pictures in Wixie and made their groundhog talk in Chatterpix.

Here is another fun activity we did called If A Snowman Could Talk. Students created their snowman in Wixie. In Wixie, they’re able to use stickers and choose backgrounds from the Wixie library. Students also had to learn how to export their photo to the camera roll when complete and upload it to Chatterpix. Once their picture is uploaded to Chatterpix, then they have thirty seconds to record a message. There are also different kinds of effects students can do to their photo in Chatterpix. Once completed, students download to the camera roll and upload to Seesaw.

Students are having a really fun time with Chatterpix. They love creating characters of any kind and making them talk. In this clip, students used Seesaw to create a talking math problem.

As a fun Valentine’s Day project, each student created a talking Valentine for mom and dad. Students took a photo of a friend, then each student designed their background on a program called Wixie. Then, students used Chatterpix to record their heartfelt messages.

Students have been using a program called Chatterpix. It is an ipad app that allows students to make their creative drawings speak. Senora Lepe came to our class one day to learn how this program works. I made a “Spanish” folder for students to organize their work. First, students made their drawings in a program called Wixie. Students were directed to draw themselves and their moms. In the clip, students introduce their moms and their hair color.

This is the questionnaire I created (in Google forms) to share with the parents in my classroom to get some feedback about how the use of social media has informed them of their child’s learning. I’m hoping the use of social media has had a large impact on discussions during family dinners.
