Apps make the world go round....well not quite, but they do make our mobile devices go. I stumble upon apps, I find apps on Pinterest and Facebook and seek out apps on AppsGoneFree.
Today I'd like to feature
You Doodle
I recently worked on a project and was in need of some kind of paint and photoshop app. So I surfed online and chose this one from a list of the 10 best. I downloaded the free version and quickly played around with it to figure out how it works. I soon discovered there were a few features that were only available by upgrading to the pro version. Since most of my project was saved with this app, I didn't want to start over with another app so I shelled out $4.99 and upgraded. I'm glad I did! I absolutely love playing around with this program.
My favorite things about this app are: the variety of backgrounds, the insert ability (photos and clipart) and the smudge tool!
The only thing I dislike and hope they add is a way to move around clipart, text, etc. after you've added it. Currently you have to save it and once it's saved, it can't be changed.
Here are 3 slides I made recently as part of a contest to win a class set of laptops:
I can envision using this app in my classroom on our iPads and hopefully touch screen laptops I entered the contest for. I used to do digital projects with students in our computer lab (using KidPix) but there's just not time anymore to "go down to the computer lab". . .the technology has to be IN the classroom and integrated into small learning groups.
I found this meme while surfing too, this kid is a classic so you might have seen him touting many things!
Have a fantastic weekend!
