30hands

Recently we had a PD session dedicated to using technology in the classroom and the app I got to use was 30hands. 30hands is a fun app that allows you to take pictures and add narration. It’s very easy to use. Here's a quick tutorial from Brittany Bowers that explains the app quite well:
It’s really an easy app to use, so here’s my brainstorm of some possible uses:
  • You could use it to write an original short story.
  • You could use it to summarize a story or novel that was read in class.
  • You could recreate a children’s book and share it with younger students.
  • You could practice a foreign language by narrating a children's story in that language.
  • You could create a step-by-step lesson for the class. 
  • The students could create a step-by-step lesson for the class as a reteaching activity or as part of a sort of jigsaw. 
  • You could use it as a kind of show-and-tell. 
  • You could use it as an ice breaker and have everyone create an introductory video about themselves. 
  • You could use it to summarize a research project.
  • You could use it to present a possible project idea.
  • You could use it to present a challenge to the students.
  • You could use it to catch students doing something good and share it weekly to recognize those who are always on task or who help others.
  • You could use it to create an end-of-the-year show to celebrate all of your achievements. 
What do you think? Can you think of other ways to use 30hands? Let me know by leaving me a comment or by contacting me directly.

Cheers,
Lesley
