Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: With adult help, children try tools such as a drawing app and a voice recorder to make a digital page. They take turns with a partner and share the finished page with classmates.
What Mastery Looks Like: With a teacher's reminder, a child draws a picture, records a short message, and helps show the page to the class. They add to a partner's work without erasing it.
Common Misconceptions: Some children think saving a picture means classmates can see it. Others erase a partner's drawing when it is their turn, or think they must type words instead of recording their voice.
How to Assess It: Give each pair a tablet and ask them to draw a classroom spot, record one sentence about it, and show the finished page to another pair. Watch whether both children contribute.

Lesson moves

Give pairs a tablet to draw the playground, then help them record one sentence each and show their page to the class.
Project a drawing app and play a voice recording, then ask, 'Which tool would help us share the sound of rain? Why?'
Play Tool Match: show drawing app and voice recorder icons, then have pairs point to a tool for 'show a bird' or 'tell a fact.'
Have pairs photograph the class book bins, record where one book belongs, and show the result to classmates before cleanup.
