General Tips
Don’t be afraid to ASK!!!
Ask other teachers about anything you may be unsure
about.
Asking is NOT a sign of inability or incompetence.
“Google” it if you’re embarrassed.
Seek Help
Switch Roles for a second
Don’t be afraid to let your students teach you!
Be Brave!
Take risks!
Get out of your comfort zone!
Be Sensible!
Start Small.
Don’t try to integrate too
many digital tools at once.
Beware the Bells and Whistles!
Don’t get swept away by
new tools!
You’ll spend more time learning the tool than
teaching the content.
“Shop” for new toolsResearch new tech tools like you research
products on
Read reviews, ask colleagues, do your
homework!
Companies hire marketing firms to make their
products LOOK great, but they might not be as
useful as they seem.
Invest some time in research before you waste
Remember why we’re here.
When planning, always start with the learning
objectives, NOT the tool or app!
Be Smart!
ALWAYS have a plan B!
