    1. Sign in and stow your phones out of sight. Log into a Chromebook and complete the WYAW activities.

    2. Web 2.0 #3: Dealer's Choice
    3. Some examples of "kid stories" - Digital Stories-Multimodals (M&M)

    4. Switching channels 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. M&M Response: Let's watch the PSA from a small group and their teacher on How to Be a Good Friend. Whiteboard relay.........

    6. PSA examples from your peers past.....

    7. YOUR TURN: In your small group of three, create a PSA plan/script on your storyboard. Next, use your storyboard to create the PSA using the WeVideo iPad app. Follow the directions on the storyboard document to complete the project.

    8. When you are done, explore the other apps on the iPads. NOTE: If you have not finished your PuppetPals story and shared it with your instructor, make sure to do this.
