Analog #booksnaps

I love the idea of using snapchat, but was hesitant of enrolling my younger 3rd grade students on there so I found the app: Skitch that does many of the same things such as taking pictures and being able to add text or drawings on top of it.

I am going to use it for our Iditarod Reading Challenge. Each student will keep a reading log. They will use booksnaps to take a picture every 5 pages and write a reflection

or a connection 

or identifying spelling or vocabulary words. 

I'm pretty excited. The skitches are then saved to their camera roll and I can share & compile them for others to see in the class & offline. It should be fun!
