I have been thinking about where we should start... I encourage everyone to take a look at the app Pictello.  Check these out:   Pictello Video Tutorial & Pictello Video Review  You can use Pictello to create a social story,  which provides information about what to EXPECT during an event, activity, or situation.  You can also use Pictello as a talking picture album to TELL someone about an event, activity, or situation. 

Here is one thing that  I have done with Pictello:

When I use Pictello as a talking picture album to TELL something, I create a 'starter' page as the first page- 'Let me tell you about ___________'' or 'I have a story to tell you'.  I use this format for all my talking picture albums, I primarily change theme of what is talked about but not the starter phrase.  For a variation, I may use 2-3 starter phrases to provide different models of language to start a story. I may use 'Let me tell you about, I have a story to tell you, and Let's talk about'.   

Let us know if you have used Pictello or any other social story/talking picture album app and what you have done with it, how it was introduced and taught.  We can get a list together of our favorite social learning apps so when we are ready for a new one, we will have options to choose from.
