Digital Pictures taken in Drama - used in Computer Workshop

Using digital pictures taken in your Drama Workshop you upload them to a software program called  "Kid Pix 4 or the latest "3D" version").

Children will love working with the photo's - adding text, music, sounds, or voice-overs then creating a slideshow with those same photos where they can adjust transitions, timings, and sound effects - very cool!

See the following posts in Drama for ideas:

• Interactive Slides/Transparencies for use in Drama or Theater
• Drama photos used in Computer workshop

As Neil MacQueen says, "Write it up and illustrate it in Kid Pix 4... the program I call "powerpoint for kids."

• Kid Pix 4’s creative writing and drawing tools let your students create their own multimedia pictures and slideshows about any subject.
• Kid Pix 4 can speak out-loud over the computer speakers whatever is typed on the screen using the text tool.
• You can import graphics, including photographs, illustrate them and add captions."

Awesome idea. Audacity is easy to use too.

KidPix software has a recording option and you can add pictures or text. Easy for younger ones.

Check out The Voice version of scripture. It's laid out like a screenplay in contemporary translation. It's one of the version options at www.biblegateway.com. A good start for a script.

UPDATE 1:

Plug a "big" microphone into any iPhone or cellphone using an adapter.

They even sell inexpensive mikes with adapters: click to enlarge

UPDATE 2:

Google "free Audio editing app for iPhone" 
There are several that allow you to stitch together various files and cut out parts you don't want to use.

Bible Apps for Smartphones and Tablets

Bible Apps for smartphones and tablets come and go pretty quick. Some were great for older phones and don't work on new phone operating systems.

View our "Bible Apps for Sunday School" here at Rotation.org where we keep a list of favorites both Bible and secular that can be used in Sunday School with kids.

This isn't software, but is computer-related:

We just started using Canva for our publicity materials at church - non-profits can get the full version for free but even the free version has a lot of options.  I'm thinking of using it in Sunday school for the kids to create Facebook or Instagram posts about what they are learning, which are a couple of their options.  You can choose from a variety of templates or start with a blank one and add a wealth of different items plus import your own photos, etc.  One of the challenges is it can be quite a time sink, so the idea is still very much a work in progress, but it is a great resource for publicity materials for Sunday school (or other church events) as well.  www.canva.com is the website.

Facebook post I made using Canva, the free online publishing tool, to advertise our summer Sunday school.  The photos are mine of our property and were popped into a pre-existing template.  Change the text, remove or resize elements and voila!

I'm looking forward to seeing what the kids can do with this!
