Not really. But I'm lovin' the imagination cubed. It is the closest thing to Kid Picks I've seen. I went though mourning the day my computer was updated and Kid Picks was taken from me forever. Several pluses on this one. One: Students' artwork looks like students' artwork. I have a feeling the students will produce more amazing work than I can even dream of doing on my own. Two: You can SAVE the work. Thank goodness, finally a place you can save your work and not have to start all over. Three: You can share.
I'd love to use this with my visualization lessons. I usually read a piece of text, like a passage from Charlotte's Web (the description of the barn is my favorite) and I have students quick sketch the picture that forms in their minds. This lesson is great for teaching them how words make a picture for the reader to see what you want them to see. I think a nice addition to this would be to quick sketch using imagination cubed. The broad stroke of the pen makes a great "crayon". I could also have them draw a picture and then others could write a description for it.
Doug said this was more elementary based, well, thank you, thank you! Us elementary folks appreciate it!

You are welcome welcome welcome! I like that is also is close to Pixie which many kids already know. But, saving Pixie stuff is an issue.
ReplyDeleteWords making a picture...I use those terms when asking 7th graders to describe their observations.
