Digital Readers Theater - Toontastic App
We are all looking for something fun and new to enhance our class. Well here is an app that is so fun you may find yourself doing your own story or book report. The app is Toontastic, and you may have heard of it. It used to have a 2 dimensional app that has now been improved to a 3D app that is made for telling stories. The best part about the app is that it is free and the creators want it to stay free for educational use. I have used this app for story telling, I have used it for students to do a readers theater. It helps those shy kids that don't want to stand in front of the class because it is prerecorded. The best thing I found is that students read over there script dozen times more because they review their recording and want to get it perfect. The app breaks down a story into 3 parts a beginning, middle, and end. It also has a more complex 5 part story. Or if you are looking to integrate science it has a scientific method version that goes over each step. The animation is so easy and entertaining, it will be hard to not enjoy yourself. This is a must have app on all educational devices. Try it out and let us know how it worked for you.
