I have a gem of an idea here for your today, thanks to my friend Denise. It’s an awesome (FREE) storytelling app called…
Adobe
It helps you brainstorm what sort of story you will create. If you click the tabs on the app, they even list ideas for different types of instructional videos, school presentations, business ideas or personal stories – it can help you organize and deliver ANY message.
Once you decide what kind of story you will be telling the app guide you along by breaking down the key components of your message. Hello, English class!
You choose a photo, doodle or text for each part of the story, and then record your voice over top of each part! Best part, if you mess up one part you don’t have to start over. You can divide your message into small parts so it’s easier to deliver. It’s mistake-friendly – great for language learners!
It looked so fun I decided to try it out. So without further adieu… Here is my FIRST Adobe Voice story about my unforgettable trip to Ecuador last week. Thanks for letting me share. Enjoy!

Went to Ecuador/Colombia summer. Great time. So much that I’ll be spending the next few months in Colombia.
Good for you! I loved Ecuador and heard really good things about Colombia. Can’t wait to see check it out soon. Send us pics of the culture if you can. We’d LOVE to see what it’s like!

Awesome way to get students writing and speaking in the target language!
I loved it. It almost felt like a commercial, ¡
muy buen trabajo!
Excellent tool! I will definitely find uses for this in my Spanish classes and I’m looking forward to sharing this with my husband who teaches 4th grade. ¡Gracias por compartir!
Love this app and will try it out in September; it’s a great way to get kids speaking. Thanks for sharing. BTW, what exactly was that thing in the soup??
A chicken foot!
OMG! As the photo came up, I kept praying, “Please don’t let it be cuy! Please don’t let it be cuy!” Sigh!
Also, this seems 1000 times more cool than Voki. And easier, too. Can it work on JCPS laptops? Some of us don’t have iPads, but this looks like it would totally work.
Like everything else, does cuy tastes just like chicken?
I wanted it to, but I didn’t think so. I couldn’t each much and I’m pretty open to new foods!
Oh, my gosh! The best app ever. I made this this morning! Love it! Thank you! http://voice.adobe.com/v/BPoHb65LQfX
I love how it prompts them! Built in graphic organizers. Sweet…
