Action and Expression is the how of learning. Differentiating the ways students can express what they have learned will help students demonstrate true mastery.
Enhance learning for all by providing choice in expression and communication. Haiku Deck and Explain Everything are two applications that provide students with the opportunity to express themselves in images and print. I was looking specifically with storytelling in mind. Haiku Deck was much easier but did not provide the narration component I was looking for. Explain Everything is not really intended for storytelling, but the options for narration and the manipulation of images makes for an excellent format for telling a story. Unfortunately, Explain Everything is available only as an iPad application.
