+Examine Your Curriculum: Integration vs. Decoration *
What concepts are difficult to teach?
What are you most confident teaching? Least confident?
What concepts need to presented in a more compelling way?
What do you already doing that might fit well with technology?
What can be accomplished in a reasonable amount of time?
How can you address both state standards and NETS standards?* Credit to Tom Woodward for this phrase!
+Focus on One Project, One Tool
Pick one thing and do it well. Gain confidence
Consider using a tool that you can build on. Wikis, blogs Let kids see work of others who came before them.
