Much of the primary curriculum hinges around key people from the past and how they have helped to shape the world as we know it today. But while there’s no shortage of information about famous historical figures in school libraries and on the internet, this information is often consumed passively by children.
To be truly engaged, pupils need to bring characters from the past to life and think about how they would act and what they would say if we could speak to them today.
If this sounds a tall order, a versatile app for the iPad, called Morfo, makes it possible. It can be used in any key stage or subject area and allows children to quickly transform an image of a face into a speaking, dancing, blinking 3D character.
