Simon's Cat 12/13/2011
 
To lighten things up during our last week of school before break I've been introducing my students to the wonderful animations of Simon Tofield. He is the animator of Simon's Cats.
Here are two videos I plan on showing:
Simon's Cat in Santa Claws:

And Simon Draws Simon's cat:

When I was searching around Simon's website: http://www.simonscat.com 
I found that he has a bunch of great apps available. I downloaded the free one to play with my students today. Take a look below:

When students completed their drawings, they used the iPods to photograph send to me.
I uploaded their work to Artsonia already! Take a look here.

There are so many ways for students to tell their stories on the iPad. It took no time at all to create this very unrehearsed and spontaneous fairy tale using the free version of the Puppet Pals HD App. It gives you the option to make customized characters and settings for a price (which would be very cool) but everything you see here was free.  Explore the app here.
