Lifecards App

Yet another app for digital storytelling--Lifecards.  Currently there is a cost for this ($1.99) but it seems like it would be worth it, especially at volume purchasing.  With this app students can create digital postcards.

Tools available in Lifecards:

• up to 4 pictures
• text
• add images and text effects
• map, stickers, and more...(you can make your own stickers virtually using hand cropping in own photos--could be used for Gail's totem project)
• email, publish (if email...always use jpeg not high resolution)

Lesson ideas:

• Perhaps if studying Ancient Rome--create postcard with facts like what is life like in this time, what food is common, what clothes were worn during war time, etc....
• Pretend you are Columbus/Lewis/Clark and create a digital postcard as you travel as this character and include it on a google map for an assignment!  This could be a cool idea with Gail's google maps and pins that she has done in the past...each pin could be a digital postcard.
