[ISLMA-Share] teaching computers to kindergarten (Mac laptops, iPads, and SMARTBoard)

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Dear Cherie,

I just came from a conference where  Pana Malila Asavavatana spoke. She is
a K-2 Integration Specialist. She has a great website with a lot of
projects and lesson plans. Here's the link.   http://mspanasays.com/


Hope this is helpful.
