Our third grade teachers have been begging us 2nd grade and below teachers to do better with teaching kids technology, specifically Google suite apps. We set these up as a challenge - complete one activity and move on to the next to become classroom tech experts. They love it. HIGHLY recomend, they are so well done. Thank you Brittany!
