26. Don't fear the technology. - Rob Baxter Whatever technology you're using, explore. Go through all the menus. Look for articles that explain it. Try to use it in real situations. - Brad Emerson The kids will figure it out much faster than you – for them, it's an innate skill. - Stephanie Minor Take it one step or concept at a time. Don’t try to do it all - try to do one thing well. - Don Watson Make sure you know WHY you are using the technology. Don't just use technology for the sake of using technology. Consider what you want the students to learn first. - Penny Arnold It's never about the tool - it's about learning. Focus on teaching/learning and fit the tool to your needs. Not vice versa. - @DataDiva You can't break the Internet. Play around bravely. - @AndersonGL Pick 1 thing to learn first, brainstorm and develop multiple ways to use it for self & classroom. - @bonitadee Join twitter :) - @TheHomeworkDog
