ChatterPix App Review

The tool in review is ChatterPix Kids from Duck Duck Moose, Inc. It is a free app that is

compatible with most android, apple, and Chrome products. ChatterPix Kids can be downloaded

from their app stores or via the Duck Duck Moose, Inc. page

https://www.duckduckmoose.com/educational-iphone-itouch-apps-for-kids/chatterpixkids/.

ChatterPix Kids is a creative expression app that allows children ages 5-12 to create animated

photos with their voiceover. Students take or select a photo of their choice, draw a mouth line,

and record anything they would like within a 30-second time frame. Students will be using this

app to develop a presentation for the class.

For my lesson, students will be selecting an animal of their choice and research three facts

about the animal on https://www.pebblego.com. Then students will create a presentation using

ChatterPix Kids. The presentation must include a picture of the animal, the name of the animal,

three facts, and why the student chose the animal.

Reflection

Indicator 2c Leader of the ISTE Standards for Educators states, "Model for colleagues the

identification, exploration, evaluation, curation, and adoption of new digital resources and tools

for learning" (ISTE, 2021). I used this standard to identify and explore an app that I have not

used very much to learn and determine if this would be beneficial for my students. Making the

tutorial also helped me achieve this goal as I explored and reviewed the digital tool for student

learning. I also achieved these goals through indicator 6d Facilitator "Model and nurture

creativity and creative expression to communicate ideas, knowledge, or connections." Using the

screen-recording tool, I model how to navigate and use ChatterPix Kids to students. Students will

achieve all parts of indicator 6 Creative Communicator while using ChatterPix Kids. Students

will use the app to meet objectives while creating original works based on research they

conducted. Students will also use the app to communicate their research and present it to their

peers. The content standard for first grade that is met through creation and presentation is

OAS.ELA.1.6.W.3 “Students will make informal presentations of information gathered” (OAS,

2021). If students were to create a tutorial video, they would present it to the class using their

gathered and designed information. In the lesson, students will be making a presentation using

the app ChatterPix Kids to their class about their chosen animal.

One thing that I would have changed about my tutorial video is to design a script to read

from while conducting the tutorial. This would help keep my thoughts in order and ensure I do

not forget to say something about my subject. It took me several tries to get a recording I was

content with submitting due to forgetting what to say or saying the wrong thing while recording.

Another thing I wish I could have done differently is the technology I used to record my tutorial.

Since my students use iPads in class, I should have used an iPad to record the how-to video so

the app will look how it would on their screen. Unfortunately, I could not get the app onto

student iPads in time to complete the assignment.
