Where do I start?
I’m not a technology person.
I’m not tech savvy.
Where do I start?
My answer? Anywhere. It’s not about replacing what you already know. It’s about extending it. Making less work for you. Giving you back time and making documentation a silent process.
Evaluate what you DO know. Make a list. What CAN you do that involves technology?
Check email? Pay your bills? Use a calculator?
All great places to start. Be your own teacher. Scaffold your learning.
You’ve never used a Smartboard? Pick up the pen. See what happens.
You’re a scientist. You do something and observe what happens. Try to replicate it. Now, change a variable. Just one. Don’t get too carried away.
Now stop. You’ve done enough for today. Come back tomorrow. We’ll do another lesson.
