Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students use digital tools to make a page, story, or presentation. With a teacher's help, they work with a classmate and share their finished work with others.
What Mastery Looks Like: With help, a student can combine a photo or drawing with a typed sentence or recorded explanation. They can take turns with a partner and add their page to a shared class book.
Common Misconceptions: Students may think taking a photo means the page is finished, even if it needs an explanation. They may confuse saving a draft with sharing the finished page. In pairs, one student may do all the work while the other watches.
How to Assess It: Give pairs ten minutes to photograph a classroom object, type one sentence about it, and add their page to a teacher-shared slideshow. Check that both children take a turn and that the page appears in the slideshow.

Lesson moves

With a partner, photograph a classroom plant, type one fact under it, and add the page to a teacher-shared class book.
Show a typed caption and a voice recording about the same photo; ask, “Which helps our audience learn more, and why?”
Play tool match: pairs draw a picture, caption, or sound card, then use a drawing, typing, or recording tool to make it.
Make a digital welcome page for new students with a partner: photograph the library, record directions, and add it to the class slideshow.
