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
