Coach Plunk's 7th grade Computer Applications class recently created interactive stories using Google Apps. They were required to use animation, sound and create a story that would teach a positive lesson. Today, they shared their stories with our Pre-K and TK classes. They all did a great job and the elementary students loved having some big kids take the time visit and teach them!
