Participants will learn how to utilize technology to have students respond creatively to books in Reading instruction. Examples include building a story timeline or character "Fakebook" page on padlet, news stories that could happen as a result of the plot in iMovie, or creating a personal version of a popular book using Pages or Book Creator - all of which serve to motivate students to think and respond creatively about the stories they read.
