Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

The Momentous Institute, based in Dallas Texas, released a set of three great assistive technology tools designed to help learners regulate their emotions. They are:

Settle the Glitter: "Kids have the opportunity to reflect on their good feelings and release worries, improving their mood so they’re better prepared to learn."
Breathing Bubbles: "Kids have the opportunity to reflect on their good feelings and release worries, improving their mood so they’re better prepared to learn."
Pass the Drop: "Designed for a classroom or group of kids, this app guides children to focus their attention on the present task, increasing their ability to block out distractions."
