In June, the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) announced their Best Apps for Teaching and Learning 2018. The apps encourage qualities such as creativity and collaboration and encourage discovery and curiosity.

This app allows students to animate their own creations. It also records voice, so the possibilities for fun projects are endless!

PuppetMaster is an intuitive animation app for kids, where learners can bring to life any image, just by acting things out in front of the camera. Voice is also recorded resulting in an animated video. PuppetMaster encourages the creation of visual art in any medium as well as active storytelling and sharing.

Platform: iOS
Grades: Preschool – Middle School

PuppetMaster has an Education Suite full of lesson plans that are aligned with Common Core and ISTE standards.  And if you don’t see what you’re looking for, you can send in a request for them to create a lesson or project for you!
