[aisle] Autocorrect

[Neha Thakkar]

I also like to incorporate a picture book, What If or What Do You Do With
an Idea come to mind. I also feel like our littles have no problem with the
red squiggly line but my big kids get all a-flutter about it 🤣 Maybe
incorporating a lesson on making mistakes may help? Or simply learning how
to turn autocorrect/spell check off? We did this a couple times when we had
testing, and truly wanted to see what the kids could do and not what their
devices could do.

Tasha - love the shared story idea! Also, Go Senators! I went to O'Neill a
million moons ago =)
