Using the KISS Method - Keep It Simple Stupid

From the time that I first started to use technology in my teaching practices, there was a tendency to want to stay on top of all the new programs and to use them all in one classroom. There were some, like me, who could see how similar many of them were, but that didn't mean that using them with my students made them or me proficient in them or helped them in any way. I soon learned that it was better for my students and what I wanted to accomplish with them to aim for understanding and mastery in small steps. Today, it is no different. If we set about to dabble in everything at once, we become jacks of all trades and masters at none. Successful integration requires building up one's repertoire one step at a time.
