Children are able to unlock creativity with this interactive puppet show. Teachers can engage students with the use of Puppet Pals in education by allowing them to create short videos, tell stories, reports, retells, and brainstorm. For teachers, Puppet Pals can be used in the classroom to achieve overall and specific expectations for language arts, social studies, and science. Children of all ages can use Puppet Pals, however, it may be must beneficial and more enjoyable for primary grades (Kindergarten to grade 3).
This digital storytelling tool can be easily introduced into the classroom. To integrate this into the classroom, I would suggest allowing the students to individually explore the app. With little guidance, children will understand and become experts. After children have explored the app, Puppet Pals can be used in many educational settings and situations.
Practice Social Responsibility
Puppet Pals can be used for personal and/or professional use. The purpose of Puppet Pals is for children to be able to express themselves and learn educational lessons in a fun, creative, and interactive way. Puppet Pals targets children. The characters have been chosen from standard curriculum to allow children to learn valuable lessons through this digital tool.
I have downloaded both the Puppet Pals HD and Puppet Pals 2 for my iPad. I have implemented this interactive storytelling app into a classroom. I have personally viewed the benefits of using Puppet Pals in a grade 2/3 classroom for literacy. I support the use of Puppet Pals in the education system. I have experienced students increased engagement in educational tasks due to the use of the Puppet Pals. I will implement this tool when applicable in my classroom.
