Going Mobile - Apps for Life

My Pictures Talk

A product of the Grembe Company, My Pictures Talk is described as a video modeling tool.  With the capability to add text and voice to pictures, the app has many other uses.   “Talking” pictures can be used, for example, to tell stories, demonstrate how to perform a task, create a multi-media social story, and create a visual schedule.   Use the video capabilities of your iPhone 3GS and 4, the iPod Touch 4th generation, or iPad to add personalized video clips to the stories that you create.

Show Me

Show Me is described as a tool to “learn and teach anything”.   A short video on Richard Byrne’s Free Technology for Educator’s site shows the app in action.  This app allows you to create what is essentially a screencast, allowing you to create lessons with your iPad and show them online.   You can access other reviews and suggestions for educational applications from the developer’s webpage.
