Chatterpix is an engaging and innovative digital app that can add a delightful twist to any classroom activity. Today, we used the app during Teddy Bear Day in Mrs. Newton's Kindergarten classroom. With Chatterpix, students brought their teddy bears to life by animating them through the magic of technology. Working together, we captured a photo of their beloved teddy bears, and with the user-friendly interface, easily added animated mouths and the students' voices to make their bears "talk." This activity not only fosters creativity and imagination but also enhances early language development as students practice storytelling and communication skills. As they shareed their animated teddy bear tales with classmates, Chatterpix transformed Teddy Bear Day into an interactive and memorable learning experience, blending technology with the warmth of cherished teddy bear companions.
The Massachusetts Common Core Standards describe the integration of technology into lessons as "New technologies have broadened and expanded the role that speaking and listening play in acquiring and sharing knowledge and have tightened their link to other forms of communication. Digital texts confront students with the potential for continually updated content and dynamically changing combinations of words, graphics, images, hyperlinks, and embedded video and audio."
Common Core Standard for Grade K: SL. K.5 Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions as desired to provide additional detail. Make strategic use of digital media and visual displays of data to express information and enhance understanding of presentations.
