After the students had a visual of sense of how to demonstrate the expectations, the teacher had them use an already familiar app, PicCollage to visually demonstrate what the code of conduct looks like. The students collaborated in small groups by taking pictures around the school to show what it looks like to follow the code of conduct. They uploaded their pictures into the app to represent their work.

  • Most schools have large LED TV's displaying school information, it would be great to incorporate the PicCollage into that electronically displayed information. 
  • Print out some of the PicCollage pieces to display within the classroom and school. 
  • Have some of the students present their PicCollage pieces at a schoolwide assembly.
