I find sketchesSchool easier to use than penultimate. Really love that you can insert the photo and trace then remove the background. Could use it for Geography field sketch so that students can see that you only need to highlight relevant features by tracing the outline and annotate them. To ease the tracing, you can increase the transparency of the picture.
Just realised that Sketch -draw &paint on Android can perform similar function as well, setting transparency and tracing. You can also add or remove layer and do time recording of your drawing!
And definitely useful for sketchnoting which I created a minimal on creativity shown below.
Just like Procreate which I had learn from an apple field trip earlier, you can also record the drawing into a time lapse video. Good for telling a story too as you can capture both the drawing and audio as you draw!
Our first activity was to draw our name and use it to tell more about ourselves. A good ice breaking activity. Like the idea so much I did another one to tell more about myself. Inserted a picture of my caricature which was from the app Mojipop.
The second activity was to mind map what we think creativity is. Would be similar to what
we did for sketch noting but using Sketchesschool instead of penultimate.
Refer to teacher guide on "Everyone Can Create" in Chapter 2. Different ways of organising information suggested. You can also download the rubrics in the overview in the guide book.
Also went for the hands-on on taking photos. Learned about live mode and how you can choose the best picture (similar to our burst shot). The live photo can also be edited in photo to create the loop or bounce effect.
Great using AR Maker to tell a story.
You can first choose a template e.g. The three little pigs or you can create your own.
Choose the character or props and click on place to place them on the spot you want them to be at.
You can draw your own picture like my globe or upload a picture. And you can make them blink, pulse or spin left or right.
Love this video shown on how drawing impact on memory
We then formed different group discussion in our own discipline and look at how we can integrate it in the unit plan. For me and the other Geog teacher, we have decided to look into the topic on tourism.
Coming up in June Create workbook Design
I would like to say that the workshop has been enriching, building on to the posts by the members of SGLDC sharing of how drawing impact on learning.
