They Will Want to Use it for Digital Storytelling

Today Kennerly teachers spent their Professional Development time learning about Digital Storytelling using the iPad.  Here are some of the apps they explored and some sample projects they created.

Storyboard -  It is best practice to start with a plan before having the kids jump into the app.  Use this template to plan the story prior to recording.

Educreations - Teach what you know.  Learn what you don't.  This app allows you to create and share amazing video lessons from your iPad.

***Download the app here.***
