MikaelaLynn says: Spending time with my nieces and nephews this last month I heard many times "what does that mean?!?!?". It occurred to me that I have a propensity for large words. Instead of constantly stopping to explain myself, what better way to educate than with technology! With these handy apps on their phones, they'll no longer be in the dark when I pontificate!
