StoryKit is a simple app offered by International Children's Digital Library for use on iPads or iPhones. Students can creatively make e-books or e-projects using text editing, images/drawing, and audio recording. They can use it to write individual stories, OR, can use it collaboratively to demonstrate learning within a particular unit in any subject! With images, text, and audio, students can create a virtual art gallery, or an exam study resource. StoryKit could also be used to create e-projects which serve as summative assessments for various subjects/units in the elementary years. Teachers break down the unit into topics, and assign each group of students a topic to create an e-book about. These can then be easily shared with families to demonstrate learning, too!

Paste is a new piece of presentation software designed to make the creation of simple, elegant presentations as easy as possible. It supports drag-and-drop from almost any source, and its automatic formatting creates good looking slides with minimal to no tweaking necessary. If you like flashy transitions and tons of formatting options, this probably isn't the software for you. Paste's strengths lie in its minimalism and the speed/ease with which you can create slides. Paste also allows for online group collaboration, commenting, and editing. For the artists out there who enjoy creating their own clipart, Paste also integrates seamlessly with Paper, a simple but powerful drawing app by the same developers.
Short Description: Formative is a free, online tool which allows teachers to create a variety of assessments, collect data, and provide feedback to students in real time. In setting up an assessment, teachers may create their own material or upload documents, images, and YouTube videos (to name a few) to which they may add questions. Such questions can include multiple choice selections, True/False, short responses, and "Show Your Work", the latter two requiring manual grading/correction. After all responses are submitted, the teacher may then receive a summary of class scores and export that data to a spreadsheet. Furthermore, the feature of tagging certain skill sets to an assessment enables a teacher to track each student's progress with a particular subject.
Examples of Uses: Formative can be used for nearly any subject or topic. Throughout a unit, a teacher could create multiple assessments to evaluate their class's understanding of the material. In a Social Studies unit on the Founding Fathers for instance, a teacher could upload photos of the different Founding Fathers and ask for an identification and brief description. For another question, they could upload a map of the United States and ask students to manually draw in where certain historical events took place. Also, the teacher could upload portions of the Declaration of Independence and/or the Constitution and have students respond to questions posed regarding those documents.
