Lifecards

** Lifecards **** --Vivid Apps ($1.99) ** ** App Description: ** With Lifecards you can use up to 4 photos to design your own creative card to share information. As you add pictures you can magnify or shrink the picture to make it fit. You can choose landscape or portrait layout or even rotate pictures. It is easy to add text and choose font and size. ** Application Lesson ** : When studying animals in first grade the children will learn about an animals habitat, what they eat, how they are covered and how they move. At the end of the unit, children will be assessed. Their assessment will be to make a “life card” on an animal of their choice...a state of the art animal report. Using a photograph that has been downloaded on the ipod touch or one in the photo gallery, the child will create a lifecard by adding their picture into the application. After downloading the animal picture, the child will type in facts about that animal. The child will be able to create their own card by rotating the picture and moving text around. When each child has completed their own lifecard, the teacher will help put it on the big screen and each child will share their card.
