The Cat in the Hat

What is it about the Cat in the Hat and other Dr Seuss creations - kids just love 'em.  I know quite a few kids with ASD that love 'em big time.
Thanks to Julie King (National Click Sp. Ed. Coordinator) for drawing this super dooper cool app to my attention.

The app is: Dr. Seuss Camera - The Cat in the Hat Edition

 
"Create zany and whimsical Cat in the Hat Cards, using your Camera or images from your Photo Library.
Take pictures with Cat in the Hat characters or choose to become the Cat in the Hat, the playful Things or even Sally or her brother. Personalize cards with comical and colorful stamps, borders and classic Seussian text. Cat in the Hat Cards can be e-mailed to friends & family or saved to the Photo Library."
 

and.....check out that 'f' word - yes it's FREE!!!!!!

The kids in my class loved this app.  I downloaded it on to the class iPad and we all took turns in taking pics of eath other.  Great experience sharing stuff!!! 

Great for hand eye coordination and fine motor skills (moving the photo into position).
The more able students in my class emailed their finished photos to their friends and families. 

Yippee - fun all round.

Pinterest

Hi Everyone,

Happy 1st of March.

Today I attended my first Click Special Ed. Coordinators Meeting -
which was inspiring.  I picked up loads of info and ideas from it - some which was iPad related. I will aim to add the iPad related info to this blog.

One app which particularly grabbled my attention was 'Pinterest'.  Its a website and there is an app. available which I have just downloaded onto the iPad.
I will check it out shortly - once I have had my Friday evening glass of wine.
So watch this space...........
