The Kindergarten students have been working on concept of word using familiar nursery rhymes. For this activity, the students have been learning Humpty Dumpty. The teacher used cameroid.com to choose the Humpty Dumpty scene. This allowed the students to take a picture of themselves as Humpty Dumpty. From there, the teacher put all of the saved and downloaded photos into a folder in their Dropbox account.

During our lesson, the students went to the dropbox app (the teacher needs to log in ahead of time), and save their photo from dropbox to the camera roll. Once in the camera roll, the students launched the Chatterpix Kids app. This allows the students to bring in their picture, draw a mouth on their picture, and record themselves reading the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme. Here is an example:

Finally, we went back to dropbox, created a folder for the Humpty Dumpty videos, and uploaded the students work to this folder in Dropbox. The teacher can then send a dropbox link to each student’s parents so they can view the finished video.
