Digital Stories about Thanksgiving


The students have worked  extremely hard in small groups to create digital stories about the first Thanksgiving.  This is their first attempt at creating digital stories and I am very proud of their efforts and finished products....I think you will be, too! We use an app called Story Kit and students are able to draw illustrations, take photos, record their voices, and type text on each page.  The students love trying to use all of the tools!  You can get this app free in iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/storykit/id329374595?mt=8   . I'm sure they would love to create their own digital stories at home.  Be sure to use the 'share' button and email them to our class so we can celebrate their work as well!

When they are shared the quality is not as great as when it is viewed in the app, but they are still pretty cute :)  When you see the speaker icon like the one below be sure to click it and you'll hear their sweet voices.












After modeling how to use the app the students completed these on their own, they did AWESOME!
