Just Getting Started

[smcmullen]

My name is Susan McMullen and I'm a technology integration speciialist in a Colorado elementary school. I'm just getting started with some Little Bit base kits. My 1st and 2nd graders will use them for the first time this week. Any suggestions/tips for getting started?

I hope to see you around, Susan! Please try to join us at our monthly Community Call! You will surely meet other educators like yourself.
