In this session attendees will learn to use an iPad APP to create the "uncommon" report. This APP is a fun and easy way for students to create a presentation that is different from the normal PowerPoint, Prezi, or stand and talk. The APP allows users to create unique characters and settings, bringing a new dimension to the old, boring presentation. The APP is free, has an easy learning curve, and can be used with students in Kindergarten and above. During the 20 minute session, attendees will download the APP, learn the options, create an example presentation, and brainstorm ways to use this APP in the classroom for vibrant learning experiences.
