Digital tools, real people.
In A World..
As part of the ‘Epic CItadel Challenge’ students at Ringwood North Primary School have been creating stories utilising a free application called ‘Epic CItadel’ and the variety of tools on the iPad to create their own stories. Epic Citadel is an immersive world where students can explore and then screen capture their own images.
We have been sharing our stories with schools from all over the world at our ‘Epic CItadel Challenge’ website, and enjoying reading their stories as well. Check out the website here and leave a comment if you can.
A big thanks to Simon (@xannov) for working with his students at Porchester Junior School in England on this task and sharing his talents. There is something pretty special about being able to collaborate and share your experience with another teacher and group of students at the other end of the globe. Our students have thoroughly enjoyed following their progress and sharing their stories as well.
It would be great to have even more schools contributing their final products to the website. If you are interested, please visit the website or contact me.
Simon put us onto the ‘InAWorld..Drama’ app, and while not free, has created some entertaining stories.
Check out an example I quickly made to demonstrate what you can do with this app.
Enjoy!
