The product that I’m featuring for this giveaway is my Digital Back to School Activities.  This product is for grades 4-9 and includes:

• Digital and printable social media templates- Selfie Alert!, ‘Fakebook,’ ‘Insta’ Alert!, Text Talk, Snap-A-Chat
• Selfie Alert!—Students are to insert a pic or draw a selfie of
themselves. Then tell the class all about themselves on the notebook
paper provided on the slide.
• ‘Fakebook’—Students are to use the ‘Fakebook’ template to upload or
draw their own profile pictures, and will then explain the chosen
images.
• ‘Insta’ Alert!—Students are to complete the Insta profile page, as
they would their own Instagram. They will insert pics (or draw them)
showing the class their likes, things they did over the summer, or any
other info they would like to share.
• Text Talk—Students will use the iPad image to create a text
conversation w/ a friend, discussing what they did over the summer.
• Snap-A-Chat– Students will use a template similar to Snap Chat to
discuss one thing that they feel is very important for the
teacher/students to know about them. Then they will explain why it’s
important for the teacher to know this.
