Student Review

The app I am reviewing is pic collage.

Hello my name is Hala. I would like to tell you about one of our PYP classroom apps. It is PicCollage. What PicCollage does is help you to make projects about any subject. 

I would recommend the PicCollage app because it helps you work and makes your projects easier! We use PicCollage in all of the units that we took over this year. 
​
We can work on PicCollage as a group or by ourselves. We used it to write desert facts, facts about planets, and also to create posters. Last week we made posters about walking in the corridors and we can crop the pictures in the app.

My Reflection

PicCollage is a great tool to use in any subject area at school. The student's creativity shines through in their choices. It is also a great starter for "appsmashing." By that I mean using more than one app. Students can create diagrams, reflections, posters, etc. in PicCollage and add them to an iMovie, Keynote, Book Creator iBook, etc. We use it a lot for homework. It is easy and hands on to ask students to find things around their home related to your unit and then upload their PicCollage onto Seesaw.
