Instructional Ideas

1. Teachers can assign students an animal that is included in this app to research. Students can first view images of the animal and hear the sounds it makes in this app. Next, students can search the Internet for videos and information about the animal. Students can then compose a report or create a presentation about the animal that includes information such as: (1) where the animal’s natural habitat is, (2) the types of food it eats, (3) its natural predators, and (4) its current population, among others. Students can write their report using the UX Documents, Office Offline, or Hanx Writer apps. Students can create a presentation using the FlowVella, Prezi, or PowerPoint apps.
2. Teachers can assign students an animal to view and hear using this app. Next, teachers can have students play a game of charades in which they have to act out their animal.
3. After viewing the “Tour” option in this app, teachers can assign each student an animal and, together, the students can make a collage. As a requirement, each student must include his or her animal and two pieces of scenery. Once finished, teachers can hang the collage in their classroom.
