My Take
Kids loved it, teacher loved it. Hopefully the teachers uses it often.
How I Use It
I worked with a kindergarten class of special ed kids (LD/ED) from 4Q in District 75. They did a unit on street safety. Each kid using their own ipad made a puppet pal show, narrated the characters with their own voices, and then presented their finished movie to the whole class (standing in front of room, holding their ipads)

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.
