Puppet Pals is a puppet show storytelling tool that is easy for children in grades K-5 to use. It encourages student-to-student and student-to-teacher communication through animation and audio. With this app students can select a setting and add characters. They can then move the characters around as they record themselves telling a story. What I loved the most when I came across this app is that it clearly connects to the CCSS content standards as well as the 21st Century Skills and the ISTE NETS. Puppet Pals can be used to promote literacy skills by encouraging students to review/apply their knowledge of story elements (setting, characters, events, problem, solution, etc.). It can also be used as a simple format for re-telling history events, explaining science concepts, or demonstrating a math word problem.
