RETHINKING WHAT YOU DO

Think about how you use technology, how students use technology
Don't throw out what you do - think about it differently.
Don't be afraid to give creative license
Don't be afraid to give up control

Years ago when I presented a project I told students they needed to use technology and it couldn't be powerpoint. I gave a list of possible sites.
You don't have to be an expert in how to use all the apps you do have to be flexible. Learning happens by doing and by making mistakes.
Learning how to use technology is often about discovery.
