The 5th Grade students at Montrose had a blast using Tellagami on the iPad minis to explain the non-fiction text features they have been studying in class. Their teachers were prepared with a variety of non-fiction texts for them to choose from. Within the book that they selected, students found a page with the feature they wanted to discuss and took a picture of it for the background. They customized their Tellagami avatar and then recorded their voice on the avatar to explain the text feature that they were showcasing in their background image.

Toward the end of the lesson, students were directed to log into Google Classroom on the iPads. Once logged in, they were able to upload their Tellagami videos that had been saved to the camera roll. Take a look at some of the finished Tellagami’s!
