Flipagram
After looking over Flipagram, I found myself wondering how Instagram manages to still thrive. Flipagram does the same job than Instagram, yet it has more components. In all honesty I didn't look over both apps sufficiently to call Instagram completely obsolete, however I can say Flipagram has some nice add-ons that I didn't readily see on Instagram. And like Instagram, Flipagram can have an endless amount of uses in the classroom. For this example, I created a short version of #ReadingSelfies
Jing
Jing was the last tool I used, and I found it to be the easiest of the three. Though none of them were particularly difficult to navigate, Jing's limited buttons and icons made its use, seamless. Based on how I used it, I do see how it might have its limits in the classroom. Still, this tool seems great for sending lessons home to homebound students. For my example, I do a simple keyword search for books in the Roma Middle School Library.
Eleazar,
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have an Instagram account, I rarely use it. I found your blog very informative when you compared Instagram and Flipgram. I really liked Flipgram and how quick the videos can be made. By the way, I loved your Reading Selfies video!
