ChatterPix Kids is an interactive photo-editing app designed for the elementary classroom that allows educators and students to make photographs “talk” in three easy steps. Simply choose or take a photo, draw a line to make a mouth, and then record a 30-second or less message—the possibilities are endless and are limited only by the user’s creativity.

Educators can use ChatterPix Kids to create:

• Content introductions with a hook  
  
• Exciting classroom announcements 
  
• Thoughtful introductions to classroom procedures
  
• Informational messages for students and their families 
  

Students can use ChatterPix Kids to explore:

• Interactive biographies and autobiographies 
  
• Multimedia creation for experiment findings, research, and reports
  
• Reading fluency, presentation, and speaking standards
  
• Ways to show what they know in a playful and age-appropriate way 
  

What do you love about it?

I love that students can use ChatterPix Kids to share what they have learned in any subject area in a novel, entertaining way. The app is easy for students as young as kindergarten to use yet is still functional and valuable for older students as well. The 30-second recording window helps keep content concise and thoughtful. Most importantly, I love that ChatterPix Kids provides educators with a simple tool to make mastering learning targets and content standards fun for students.
