Here is an example of the newest app we are trying.  It is called Puppet Pals.  It didn't cost much - and as you can see, the kids can take pictures and then crop them to use their stories.  Very creative and such a big hit!  Thank you to Sally Craddock, of Frostwood Elementary, for sharing this new technology with me!
