When I saw this display at the NYC school technology summit last week, I was mesmerized. Whether by fear or delight, cannot say. Yes, these are talking stuffed animals called Bluebee Pals. Children will love them.
The animals move their mouths to speak what is on the iPad (or sing, chant, moan, growl, etc.) and they sway their little bodies and shuffle their limbs.
Here are additional videos:
The animals come with their own apps, and can speak anything that is on the iPad.

Who says you must use a green screen to make movie magic? This teacher used blue bulletin board paper hung from a wire across the room.
This was good for headshots and above-the-waist action.

A group of students planned to record themselves singing and dancing along to a movie video. Each students would then would then use that footage and the Green Screen by Do Ink app to digitally add themselves to the movie video. This is what the setup looked like:

Several students worked with me to create little movies using Puppet Pals HD Director’s Pass software. It is one of my all-time favorite iPad apps. In video 1 a student and I voiced super hero characters about to jump into the sky; the characters were made completely of pipe cleaners (the student is a master of the pipe cleaner medium). In other videos, the characters are cut-out pieces of paper with scribbles of vegetables on them (the students did the scribbling). In video 5, I voiced a Victorian British curator who lives in the Underground; he has artists describe their work.

The Ozmo attachment records what is drawn beneath it and incorporates it into the scene…
I drew my favorite fruit.

How do your students make their iPad choices?
