You will need to use some form of microphone (i.e Apple Bud earphones with Mic) or other recording device specific for iPod Touch/iPhone. (See notes on Digital Storytelling Page).
 * 1) Practice it aloud with iPrompt or Auto Cue(like a tele-prompter)[[image:iTunes-27-1.jpg width="35" height="44"]]
 * 2) Choose what you are going to do with your document. Edit or Copy. (Picture 1)
 * 1) Edit the Document (shown here in Picture 2)
 * 2) Change the settings and how the text is presented on the screen (Picture 3)
 * 3) Decide what instruments you would like to accompany your "story". (via ipod Touch apps)
 * 4) Practice your rhythm and experiment with the different sounds.
 * 1) **Suggested rhythm**: We will rock you. (Short-Short-Long, Short, Short, Long). Here is a recording of what it sounds like:
 * 1) When you read your story out, the instruments will accompany your story.
 * 2) Nominate one person in the room to record your story. (Using Voice Memo or Voice Recording from Evernote).
 * 3) The instruments can improvise rhythms and melodies and be creative (BUT not to overshadow the person reading the story!)
