ShowMe your Pet Rock!

Today in the AT&T Classroom our third graders continued their study of characteristics and features of rocks. They applied their knowledge of rocks by creating their own Pet Rock using the ShowMe iPad app. The app allows the iPad to record the student’s voice and his/her writing and drawing which can be saved for playback and/or shared online. Students are also able to insert images by drawing or inserting a photo taken from the Internet or captured with the iPad camera. After researching features of rocks and rock vocabulary terms, the third graders used ShowMe to create animations of their “Pet Rock”, explaining the unique features and terms that characterized their rock. The app can be downloaded at no cost in the App store.
