Puppet Pals

Puppet Pals is an application in which students can create their own stories using different characters, backgrounds, and by recording their voice. After the students create the content, students can share content  through email, YouTube, MMS, or transfer to the computer.

This application overall could be used for some really great things in the classroom. Students can write their own scrip, record their voices, and be able to share this with the class. If one wants to buy certain parts of the program, students could even use their own pictures and have an unlimited amount of characters to interact with. Using this application, students are able to let their imagination go wild. I could only imagine the kinds of stories a kindergarten class would create when given such creative freedoms!

The reason why I would not use it in the classroom is the price of the content. This set back is a complete deal breaker for me.  Although it starts with one set of characters and scenes, the rest of the content cost money. As many good free apps that are similar to this one out there, teachers can easily find an alternative application.
