Cicely Day works in Oakland, California at Burckhalter Elementary School as an instructional teacher leader, where she helps support teachers and students in ELA/math and in the computer lab.

Both of the elementary schools where I work have general consumables for educators (and I believe it’s true for most schools): xerox paper, butcher block paper, crayons, scissors, tape, markers, rubber bands, papers clips. The same seems to be true for the maker movement these days. Materials Openly and Easily Accessible.

I personally have used FlipSnack as a way of creating more interesting workshops instead of a powerpoint or Google Slides. So that was a great way from an elementary standpoint to use FlipSnack. And then all the content and the videos and the images and links, they’re all in one spot for the kids to access.
