"Puppet Pals is possibly the best app I've seen so far. It allows you to create your own animations very quickly and easily. It is available for the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad. The free version comes with fairy tale backgrounds and actors, with the paid version you get many other scenarios such as pirates, monsters, farm setting and fairies. You can buy each extra set of actors for 69p each or buy the Director’s Pass for £1.99 which gives you all the extra actors and scenes. You can even make your own! It is fabulous for story boarding, character writing, speaking and listening as well as just brilliant  fun! It is really simple to use and my four year old took to it instantly, creating a story about the fun we had in the snow."

BGfL will be featuring an app each week which can expand the teaching and learning experience. We want to provide guidance on the use of mobile apps and touch technology - so as well as the use of iPhone/iPad apps, we are keen to share Android apps available for you to use.

If you have an app that you wish to recommend, then let us know.
