 * Questions:**
 * **How will the use of technology affect student achievement in reading and writing?**
 * What does research say about the use of technology in developing literacy?
 * What steps are involved in the implementation of digital storytelling?
 * What materials do we need to successfully implement the steps?
 * What other approaches besides digital storytelling might we use to enhance literacy?
 * Can we incorporate collaboration among students with digital storytelling and/or other technologies?
 * What will we learn about student motivation from the use of digital storytelling in reading/writing instruction?


 * Notes 2/21:**
 * Use response clickers to collect data at the end? Use these questions for discussion:
 * Opinions on Sock Puppets, One Smile, future suggestions? Collaboration?
 * If we used Sock Puppets again, what might we do differently? What could be better? Did anything frustrate you?
 * Is there anything you would want to do differently to make the One Smile project better?
 * What would you want to use Sock Puppets for?
 * If you had the chance to tape your joke again, what would you do differently?
 * What is your favorite way to tell a story? (paper, laptop, iPad, etc.)
 * Do you think repeated practice made your reading better?

Next Steps:
 * Have a discussion with students to reflect on the One Smile & Sock Puppets projects
 * Collect Anecdotal Data
 * Plan Poetry Digital Storytelling project
 * Keep CONNECTED in mind
 * Need student work examples
 * Determine timeline & process
