This past Thursday I worked with kindergarten students who have been learning about the two presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Students created "If I were President..." videos using iPads. Before I went into the classroom, the teacher had her students brainstorm ideas about what THEY would do if they were president of the United States.

First, students used my favorite QR scanner app,
i-nigma, to scan a QR code we projected on the board to take them to a Comemories site that had four different pictures of the two presidents.
The students chose which picture they wanted to serve as "their body" and saved it to the camera roll.
Next, students went to the
FaceTalker app (FREE!) and took a selfie. We walked through the steps to add their selfie as a face to their president's body. The kindergartners recorded themselves finishing the sentence "If I were president I....".
Afterwards, students submitted their movies to my
Work Collector.
