Actual tools and toy tools were used during this activity. I also used the ELMO to enhance the story time experience by projecting the pages of the book on the screen. Finally, the ELMO was used for still captures as the children played in the classroom construction site.

** Reflection: ** The children absolutely loved the ELMO! My students were watching themselves on the screen and enjoyed being able to change what was showing on the screen as they used the ELMO. A noticeable increase in the students’ expressive language was one of the best outcomes. Additionally, the ELMO kept the children’s attention on task. This was one of the most immediate positive results of using the ELMO. I also enjoyed the ease that I was able to do a read-aloud, showing pages from a book so that all the children could see clearly at one time. The ELMO also made it very easy to point to pictures and/or parts of a whole as I asked questions. I enjoy using the ELMO.
