This sounds like a great tool to use with my higher level learners. Administration is really pushing enrichment in my district and I am always looking for ideas for those students who need a challenge. Thanks!

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for reading! I agree, littleBits are definitely great for higher level learners. I've also seen them used in many ways to help struggling students build more solid connections with ideas like circuitry, so I think they can be beneficial at all levels. They do also offer lots of great extension activities as well. Hope you have a great weekend!

Mike
