Beefing Up your cuentos with Label box app on iPhone/iPad

Do you take pictures (or better yet, have a student taking pictures) during your stories in class? If not, YOU SHOULD START! It's one of the best ways to get more "bang for your buck" on each story.

When you have pictures, it opens up a lot of possible extensions:
  • re-telling of story next class
  • great foundation for both writing or speaking assessments later
  • competitions between classes the "the class with the best acting gets their story pics posted on the class wiki"
  • good to have as a resource for absent students
  • helps me remember what in the world we did







Ok, so here's an awesome app. that I use all the time in my Spanish classes. The great part, it's compatible with iPad and iphones; so chances are either you or one of your students already has the hardware needed to implement the use of this app. The really great part, it,s FREE!!!

You can probably just figure out the app yourself and think of way better uses than I have, however if you would lik to see an indepth explaination of exactly how I use this app in my classes watch this video:

  1. We love this app! At the beginning of the year, they took emotion pictures using the iPad camera that distorts the face and added these labels. I still have those pictures up. Another similar app: stampit, Scrapad, and piccollage.
