Every beginning of the school year, my language arts class writes something called "The Shades of Summer" to kind of warm up for the year by telling me what they did that was exciting over the summer. In addition to the writing prompt, students usually draw themselves doing the activity in the lenses of the glasses. It is very fun for them and interesting for me. I was very fortunate to be nominated as a Keystone Technology Innovator this summer and attend a weeklong seminar at Kutztown University. It was the best educational experience of the my career. One of the things I wanted to implement immediately was green screening. This project was the perfect outlet! For those that are unfimiliar with an "App Smash," it is when you use multiple apps together to obtain one goal. Sometimes the app you need isn't made yet or it doesn't have every feature you need. That is when it becomes neccessary to smash apps together. For this particular Smash, I am using the iPad Mini Camera App, DoInk's Green Screen App, and Union Photo Blend App to achieve the ultimate green screen! After a quick search, I found two apps that could possibly do this: Photoshop Touch and Union. One was $9.99, the other was $1.99. So I ponied up the two bucks and purchased Union. From the moment I opened up the app, I was amazed at the functionality and ease of this app. Not only could I do exactly what I wanted, it was so much easier than if I did it via Photoshop on a computer! All I had to do was find images with one color backgrounds to input in the pictures and place them in there. Then, by simply using their magic wand, you can take out the solid background with one click! It's that easy!
To finalize the project, I used the Photos App on the iPad to find a filter to put over the photo. I'm not a huge fan of photo filters all the time, but I wanted something to tie the whole picture together and give it some uniformity. I think it did just that. Let me know what you think by tweeting me at @FlippingFifth. Thanks to @DoInkTweets for creating such a great app and helping me through this process! Make sure to give them a follow.

I used DoInk's Green Screen App for the first time this spring to video my K5 students reading their animal research with props, then I put them into their own illustrations. But I ran into a snag with the volume of my videos taken with my ipad and with the format of the finished videos. I haven't found a way to get them into a format that is widely recognized and easily opened to share with parents. Any suggestions? My students enjoyed seeing their videos but I wanted to be able to share them with our families.

AuthorHere I will keep a journal of different things I have done in my class with some degree of success or failure. It is just important to document why something didn't work as opposed to why something did work. Archives
