Using Tellagami in the classroom: guide and lesson ideas

Writing self-assessment using Tellagami and Fotobabble.

First the student read aloud their writing to check whether it made sense. Then the student used Tellagami to self-assess their writing and set some goals.

This student had been learning how to find the main idea in a non-fiction text and summarise information. She then recorded what she had learned using Fotobabble.

Maths

Collaborating to reflect on learning using Fotobabble:

 

Students could use Google Maps to take a screen shot of their local area. Then students could use their animated  character to describe their route to school with the Tellagami app.

Can you think of any other ways to use these apps in the classroom?
