My Take
I like the creativity offered to the students. This is an excellent resource to do a story retell or to teach the steps to writing a play assigning parts to various people. This gets the students excited about the project! It may take several days to complete one project. The app is not free.
How I Use It
This app can be used by students of any level. I use it in a small group setting so the students can work together to design a play to present to the class.

Digital Storytelling Coming Alive
I think Puppet Pals is a great teaching tool!!! It is easy to use for all children. I love how they have already characters and how you can add your own pictures for a more personalize story. Students want to go on it because they think it is fun and don't realize how much learning they are getting from being on it. If I could use this app more often I would! The movies the students made were so much fun to watch and share with their parents.

In grades 1 and 2 the students can do by themselves. It is a great tool for the students to show off their creativity and a great tool for the teacher to assess students understanding.
