In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Nearpod
Google Docs

Based on my experience with children and storytelling, there will usually be some big conflicts their characters will need to overcome.  There are often battle scenes and sometimes characters will die (it is always the choice of the student who controls the character whether their character gets hurt, how badly and if they die).  I have also found that students in these classes like to make lots of different characters often playing with gender identities.  Sometimes they create characters who have families and children. There are often characters who are the villains of the stories.

This class uses approved 3rd party tools.  I have a Google Classroom set up for each section as a place to distribute and receive back completed Character Bio Pages.  In the classroom there is a fillable Google Doc template I've created for Character Bio Pages.  There is a link posted in the Outschool classroom that will take you directly to the Google Classroom, no account or login necessary (use of Google Classroom is simply so the Google Doc can be filled out and returned easily). 

During class we will be using Google Jamboard as the tool to do our roleplay, again a link will be provided to students at the beginning of each class to access the Jamboard, no account or login necessary.  Each student will have access to post on the Jamboard and after class each Jamboard will be converted into a pdf and saved to the Outschool classroom. 

(I've also included Nearpod in the list of 3rd party tools as this is where my classes have done role play in the past, I'm currently transitioning to Jamboard.  If the Nearpod is used, students will receive a code at the beginning of class to enter in the website join.nearpod.com).
