Kindergarten is the grade where already so many skills besides technology are being introduced. It is safe to assume that your students have no understanding of any technology, even if that might not be the case. During kindergarten, your students might not officially be introduced to all of these skills, but hopefully some of them become familiar.

Ideas to try:
QR code stations: Give your students easy access to anything with QR Codes, whether it is audio books, station instructions, or other listening activities. Generating QR codes is super simple. Just take the link to the file and drop it at qr-code-generator.com!
Seesaw reflections: The tools inside Seesaw allow students to do so much, but some of those tools might be overwhelming for kindergartners. Think about how they can add a bit of reflection with a short audio recording to develop metacognition. The learning activity itself does not need to be digital, but adding it to a portfolio and reflecting on it brings it to another dimension.
Picture-Scavenger Hunt: Teach kids some basic skills while applying appropriate technology use. What are we allowed to take pictures of? Should I ask permission to take a picture of someone else? This can encourage a great discussion on respecting others' privacy as well as the technology available.
