Background
Why?
limited device access in lower grades (K-2)
weak digital citizenship and digital literacy skills
lower grades needed more "hands on deck" to help support literacy and math skills
students in upper grades (4-5) needed leadership opportunities
students in upper grades needed purposeful work to focus on when finishing tasks
