This app lets you create movies using videos, images, animation, etc. I found a video on YouTube that explains how to use it. Students can use this application on their own, too.
I would use this tool in the classroom as I want to teach second grade. The students would be at an age in which they would be able to create their own puppet show with instructions. This would be a group project for students to do. Puppet Pals give students a chance to use technology in the classroom and is a good method when it comes to TPACK, what we learned about last semester.
I would use Puppet Pals in the classroom because students need a blended classroom, with technology incorporation, so they are able to do things on their own. If students are just sitting in desks listening to the teacher instruct, they may struggle retaining the information. Puppet Pals give students the chance to apply their writing and reading skills to make their show. This could be an art experience for students as they can create their own puppet shows and have interactions with other students. It is a fun way of learning for students to be creative.
This application is easy to use because the instructions are simple enough that students can grasp the concepts easily. Students may struggle with creating their own story behind the puppet show. It is easy just to use words from a book, but in order for students to use their writing and reading skills, they have to think outside the box and create their own stories.
