App of the Week: Sonic Pics

App of the Week: Sonic Pics

What is it?

SonicPics makes digital storytelling fun and easy! Turn your photographs or pictures of student drawings or work into narrated slideshow movies to share! 
  • Add images from your photo library or snap new ones with your camera. 
  • Arrange your photos however you would like. 
  • Record a voiceover narrating your images as you swipe through them. 

Once you are finished, you have a movie with your images synchronized to your narration. You can share your recording with students and parents. 

What can it do?
  • Create and narrate custom photo slideshows.
  • Records your voice while you flip through your images. 
  • Automatically synchronizes your images to the audio recording.
  • Present your stories on the SMART Board or projector
  • Make movies of your images and narrations from the iPad.
  • Record up to 60 minutes per session! 
  • Easy image selection and editing. 
  • Give images unique names and descriptions that can optionally be shown during recording.
  • Build slide shows with photos from photo albums, camera roll or built in camera (great for taking pictures of student work). 



Who is it Good For?
This app is good for all ages.   Students in primary can take pictures and reflect on their work or build slideshows multiple images (pictures taken or drawn).   This app can be used more complex in intermediate with inserting images from the internet, students own photos, or drawings.  If you are interested in trying this with your students, let me know!  I'm happy to help!
