Great resources.

Kendra – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) – June 8, 2020

A lot of these resources were not new information, and many of them were not pertinent to the elementary setting (which is not mentioned in the description). I would love to see technology presented that would be solely appropriate for the elementary (I’m thinking first grade classroom) setting. Lots of great ideas overall, though.
