The start of a new school year is always so exciting with the opportunity to get to know a whole new group of students. There are heaps of excellent 'getting to know each other' games and so many iPad apps enable students to develop pieces that share who they are.
I like the idea of developing something to revisit at the end of the year. One idea I really like is just a short video recording of students introducing themselves, sharing something they like and naming something they would like to achieve during the year. The teacher would need to create one to show the class first to model the format as well as confidence in front of the camera. These short movies could all be compiled into an iMovie and saved for the end of the year.
Apps that are very popular right now are journal type apps that require you to take a photo or video every day/ week etc. for a period of time. Some of these apps are Photo365, Project365, ProjectLife, Video365, 1second everyday etc. Something else cool to do would be to start at the beginning of the year and take a photo or video every day/week/month to show at the end of the year. This could be just a random shot or one taken in the same location.
