![]() ![]() Figure 2.1: Shown here is the ScrapPad application (ScrapPad - Scrapbook for IPad). It is no secret I have never been a crafty person. WanderLog is a travel journal/scrapbook application developed for. During my days in graduate school I struggled a lot with the fact that many of my peers were able to spend hours creating these amazing therapy activities with glue and various types of paper. Yes, I did question my ability to become a speech therapist when I saw one of my colleagues bring the cupcakes she had baked at home along with all these amazing cupcakes decorations for the session. I clearly was not capable of such a thing! Oh, and of course there are the scrap-booking SLPs! Clearly, I had no idea that SLPs had to dedicate hours preparing meals, buying scrap-booking materials and other tools for various “crafty therapy sessions”. In graduate school, I appealed to my technophile side to create my sessions around my computer. I know what you are thinking… "What about the iPad?”. Both apps allow you to rotate and resize the photos. We have been to other places to scrap: hotels, and another residential setting, but this home, with the perfect details that Pat provides is awesome. In ScrapPad, you can simply put the photo in. My family members and friends just had our weekend at this home and it was the best ever. ![]() Today’s post is dedicated to all my fellow speech therapists and teachers who lack “craftiness” and want to be crafty on the iPad! Blessed be the iPad! I didn't even own an iPhone while in graduate school (and the iPad was still years from being invented). One thing that ScrapBook allows you to do is extensively edit your photos - you can crop them ,adjust the tone, apply a filter, remove red-eye, remove blemishes, and more. Here are some of my favorite apps for fun, creative, and open language based therapy sessions:ġ. Art Maker by ABC’s Play School ( $0.99) – Prepositions, vocabulary and more. This application allows you to create scenes by selecting from various background options and pieces of craft that go with the theme. You can also pick from your own photos and add various pieces of provided objects and crafting materials to your photo (see how non-crafty I am based on the photo below). For those of you feeling a little adventurous you can even make a movie as you move the items around the screen. You can use this app for promoting language skills and vocabulary. ![]()
