Staying Up To Speed with the Latest Resources

As you may have seen on the home page , my most current resources have been developed in collaboration with Jessica Twomey and Innovating Play. This Templates Page holds information and links to where you can find our latest resources, in addition to my original templates and activities.

1. Google Apps for Littles and Innovating Play Books

We definitely consider these two books to be siblings! Google Apps for Littles sets the foundation and shares with the world what Littles CAN do with Google Apps. Innovating Play builds on ideas and connections from the Littles book, and shares more about reimagining learning through meaningful tech integration. Read more on our Book Info Page.
