What to do with so many tools???
A wise teacher friend of mine once offered the advice..."You only know what you know...so don't try to do everything at once! Focus on one goal or one tool at a time and do it well." The pearl of truth in this is in the baby steps. Start first with what it is you are teaching, not the technology tool.
The teaching will always and forever be the MOST important piece of the pie, NOT the technology! The technology is simply a tool, like a text book, a pencil or a potato peeler. The power comes in how the user implements the tools to support instruction. So the learning goals come first every time; each and every time.
