I Wonder...Box

Wow! I wonder what all this amazing app can do!

I absolutely love the Wonderbox app by Duck Duck Moose.  No surprise here, that the makers of Chatterpix would create such an all inclusive, creative app.  Wonderbox has the capability to be a student portfolio, offers high level blooms activity creation, collaboration, and creative prompts as well.

Mrs. Helgen and I have been utilizing this tool for the past few weeks and cannot see how we survived before.  It seamlessly integrates into our 2nd grade classroom and the creation opportunities are limitless.  We use it daily and in every subject!


I wanted to share a few of the lessons we have created and found within the app.

Math:
We began by challenging the students to video themselves  counting out money. Sending it to a friend for them to check.

In the second math lesson we had the students video themselves stating the amount of money on the picture.  They then sent it to 2 friends.  Their friends were to respond with a picture of the same amount of money using different coins.

Students created word problems using a specific equation and sent them to their friends as an assignment.  The students did the assignment and solved the problem sending it back to the creator to check for accuracy.

Example of one that was answered by another student.

Language Arts:
Students have been studying onomatopoeia examples in Robert Munsch books.  We asked them to write out two sentences using onomatopoeia and read the examples.

Science:
Students have been studying inference and seasons.  They used different clues to prove what season it was.  They then recorded themselves explaining their clues for their season.  The next day they wrote a season riddle for their friends to solve.

The edu version of this app will be out soon! Be sure to add this app to your TO GET list!!
