Very well done presentation here. Many thanks to Kelly Hines.

There were no tools presented that I would use with a kindergarten class tomorrow. This is an ongoing challenge for early childhood educators. Can I create materials to enhance the learning using some of these tools? Yes, but I am looking for tools that the students can use with greater independence. That’s where the learning is.
