This has been one of the most fun apps I have played with for some time. This was another app I could not get near because my 12 year old commandeered it for the whole day after I downloaded it. She had her first animation up and running in under 5 minutes. I was impressed! She was impressed! This is always a good sign from a tech savvy kid who is aware of what will and won't work with her peers at school. I liked the way the app can be operated with simple gestures.
DoInk Animation is also a member of Moms with Apps, a collaborative group of family-friendly developers seeking to promote quality apps for kids and families.
As an art teacher this is the type of app that really excites me, not only for what we could do with it in art but because we could showcase the possibility of an app like this to other subject areas as well. Being so easy to use was one of the things that immediately struck me with DoInk. I love the concept. The ghosted image of the previous drawing means that sophisticated gestures and movements can be obtained even by the youngest of kids. The older students would really take this to the next level. Using a stylus does give you a better experience but it is not really needed.
Storytelling as an educational activity is experiencing strong support at the moment from educationalists. The higher order thinking skills needed to analyse a situation and then illustrate it to a perceived audience is one which many teachers and parents are looking to emulate. The storytelling aspect of a tools like this is excellent.
As an educator I am all about making information entertaining as well as educational. So many times in my classroom my students have achieved the most stunning outcomes when they have not realised they were involved in the activity of learning. DoInk looks like an excellent app for replicating this learning. Check out the youtube clip from the guys over at iPadCreative. I have directed you to these guys before because they have some really cool stuff on their website. They are also generous with their time on evaluating apps for education. Enjoy!
