This assignment will give you experience designing an activity that integrates technology into the language arts curriculum and can be adapted to any curriculum that requires sequencing (e.g. history, math, and science).

Before you begin, let's look at a sample and try it out in class.  Choose one of the following:

• Jeff and Margot
• Beth Rados
• LeAnne Carroll

Now it is your turn!

1. Get in groups of 3 to plan a set of story pictures.

2. Capture the images OUT OF ORDER using the iPad. (NOTE:Any digital camera can be used.)

3. Write your narration.

4. Create an Educreations project in which you tell your story visually as you narrate it. NOTE: Everyone in your group has to be a part of narrating. Everyone in your group has to be a part of narrating. (NOTE: This can be done with PowerPoint or even with prints of the images.)

5. Swap your iPad with another group's and use their images to write a story. Again, record it using Educreations.

6. Get back together with the other group and share your stories. What's the same? What's different? Are there any other ways the images can be put together to make a story?
