This is the link if you'd rather watch the video full screen.

This is a great tutorial for using the iPad. I suggest you watch the video on your computer and use the iPad to try out the bits and pieces. It is quite detailed but looks of good info.

Toontastic pdf tutorial for teachers

Wow what a great tutorial!!  To create the cartoon there is a whole story arc with a setup--conflict---challenge---climax and resolution.. In this tutorial there are even suggestions for questions for each of the stages for the story. The Tutorial is viewable online or you can copy the pdf if you're a hard copy kinda person. When I use it in my class for the first time I'm going to walk them thru the stages and have them make up a story so they have an idea of what the story is going to be before they create it on Toontastic.  I won't get them to read their story but to use the storyline to help them remember it as they go along.
I'm excited to go into Christie's class tomorrow and play around with it too with a selected group of students. We'll post our stories on the blog for  you to view tomorrow and give you feedback on how it goes.

Storyrobe Tutorial

Here's a tutorial on how to use Storyrobe.
The quick tips from my trials on using the Storyrobe app  are:

•  it's a 3 min. video
• if one of the students make a mistake you have to start all over from the beginning of the story. There isn't a redo.--hmmm could be a problem
• once you create the story, you can't go back and edit
