You can work with a group of no more than 3 people to help you take the picture with your chromebook. Try to have 1 of the pictures with someone from the school. DO NOT ENTER A CLASSROOM THAT HAS A CLASS GOING ON!! But if you see a staff member in the hallway, you can have your picture taken with them if they want to. Be sure to take your own pictures with your own chromebook, have someone in your group use your chromebook to take the picture. NO PICTURES IN THE BATHROOMS!
    - We will then use PIXLR, Cooltext, and photoscissors to create our own Instagram story.
