Some Inspiration.....
What part of this video resonates with you?
Which of these teachers tell part of *your* story as a future teacher?

Sign in and stow your phones out of reach. Log into a Chromebook and complete the WYAW activities.
SMALL GROUP WORK: In your table groups, using your storyboard, create a group digital story using Puppet EDU.
- TIPS for Using Puppet EDU
  - For a slide to show up and be included in your story, it must have sound even if you don't say anything and it's silent (e.g., for the title)
  - Make sure to turn the volume on your iPad up ALL THE WAY so your audio is loud and proud.
  - Explore different ways to add images and also try at least one video
  - NOTE: For video, you must play it all the way through when assembling your story for the entire video to be added.
  - USE THE STEPS ON THE BACK OF YOUR STORYBOARD FOR GUIDANCE!
  - We'll watch these in class on Thursday.
Getting Google-y: So far we've used Google: Blogger (blogspot), Sites, Drive, Jamboard, and gmail. Here are a few more to consider:

Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/
This tool is very useful in finding research related to a particular topic. You can often access the entire article by using the link to the right of the citation. You can also get the article citation in a variety of formats (e.g. APA, MLA, etc.)
Google Keep: https://keep.google.com/ allows you to keep notes, add images, create checklists, and sync all of this across multiple devices. Search for "Google Keep". When you see the results, right click and choose "Pin to shelf" It can also run offine (these apps are indicated in the Chrome store) by a lightening bolt. Every time you log into Chrome on any device, your Keep notes will be accessble.
Google Arts and Culture: https://artsandculture.google.com/
