1. You may save your story in PDF format to printout at a later time.

2. You will be given a CODE that will allow you to bring your story back on line when you log back on. Write this code down if you forget it you can never retrieve your story.

3. IMPORTANT If you finish your story you will not be able to go back and edit the story.  You may preview the story and then make corrections.

4. Using a microphone you may choose any of the below software programs to create your video with sound, or just create a video with no voice.

5. If your students are creating a  story in class and they only have a 45 min class you must have them create the wording for the story first in Microsoft word allowing them to look it over edit it and then bring it back up during the period they are going to create their complete story.  This will save them time in thinking about what they are going to write about. They may then copy and paste it in the desired pages.

6. If your assignment is only a two or three page story they may do the whole story in a 45 min class providing you prepared them with directions prior to that day.  Make sure you tell them to save the CODE.
