We are exploring different ways of telling stories in my classroom. This blog post outlines how making creatures with playdough ended up becoming a comic using Book Creator….and being woven into our storytelling unit. It was a powerful way to combine tactile learning, storytelling, and technology. This activity was filled with student voice and voice, as well as having an authentic audience. The engagement was high and I had fun!

Functional Closure Part 3: More Digital Resources. This post explores a few digital resources that I use (Esti-mysteries, Jam Board, and Book Creator) as well as a few specific apps in Office365 (Sway, Forms, and Word). It will be the last in my digital technology series unless I get specific questions that I feel I can answer. As alway, I hope this is helpful. I know we can make it through this challenging time.
