Snapchat to Reflect; I am Sold!

I am SOLD on book snaps! After hearing about book snaps and seeing them on twitter and at ISTE, I decided to try out the concept. (Big shout out to Tara Martin, she is the one that came up with the idea!) I have been on snapchat with my kids, just because it's a place they are and I wanted to understand it. However, the thought of using it as a learning tool had never entered my mind.  So the first few book snaps that I tried were of course to my own children.  After their initial response of rolling their eyes, I actually got really good feedback, as in you should do this with students and they would respond well. 

Learners can use snapchat to create book snaps without ever actually sending their work through the app. Everything they create can be saved and shared through a mobile devices camera roll. 

Watch how to create a book snap in Snapchat below. 
A recap of what all the icons represent on the Snapchat screen:
Picture
 1) Discard your Snap                  5) Set a timeframe for your Snap
                2) Add emojis                               6) Save your photo to your Camera Roll 
3) Add a caption                          7) Add a Snap to your Story        
                  4) Doodle                                      8) Select recipients and share your Snap
 So much information can be transferred in one image or in a string of images in a video.  To combine a series of snaps into a video watch below.
It's a creative process that allows the learner to go as deep as they want to show their learning. 

The next time you are reading a text try creating either a snap or story that shares a reflection.

This is very interesting! I am going to share with my librarian. This may be a great way to promote reading. I'll probably share with my teachers, too... I think this would work in nearly every subject at the high school level.

Yvonne, I agree. I think the idea can be used to push thinking and annotation in any content area. I plan on sharing with our faculty too!
