1. Sign in and stow your phones out of sight. Log into a Chromebook and complete the WYAW activities.
   
   
2. Animoto showcase based on your preferences for showing in class......
   
   
3. WeVideo Audio: Let's work with audio to make sure you are comfortable with hitting the sweet spot with balancing music and narration.
   
   
4. Switching channels for screening stories to look at students' creation of multimodal pieces. As you watch these examples, think about the differences in digital storytelling between stories created by adults and those of children.
   Some questions to consider:
   
• What might you need to do as a teacher to prepare kids to tell digital stories?
• What might the constraints be both creatively and technically?
• What other kinds of multimodal communication projects can you do with students? Individual? Small Group? Whole group?
  
  
5. Some examples of "kid stories" - Digital Stories/M & Ms created by elementary students
   
   
6. M&M Response: Let's watch the PSA from a small group and their teacher on How to Be a Good Friend. Using the Vintage boards and the Whiteboard Relay, write a word or phrase that responds to this PSA video.
   
   
7. PSA EXAMPLES.....
   
   
8. SMALL GROUP WORK: In your small group of three, follow the directions on your storyboard template to create a storyboard for a PSA you will create using the WeVideo iPad app. (We'll finish on Thursday if we run out of time).
