Member-only story
I see you, fearless classroom teacher.
You’ve been given access to numerous technology tools thanks to increased funding during the COVID-19 pandemic. There’s a high likelihood that every one of your students now has their own device and many of them have internet access at home.
You’ve got all this “stuff” now and you’re freaking out.
You’ve never had this much access to technology in the past. You’ve struggled to make a class iPad work or tried to plan days that you have access to a computer lab so you can integrate some technology into your classroom.
Now, you’ve got devices everywhere. You may even have subscription access to new tools from your school or district to use with your students.
And you’re more stressed than ever.
What in the world are you going to do? We’re still trying to feel our way through this pandemic and you’ve barely been keeping your head above water.
Keep it simple.
I implore you, fight the urge to do everything at once. Fight the urge to use everything you have access to before the end of the school year.
“Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.” — Henry David Thoreau
