Finding the Proper Mix

During this semester, we have learned about so many great tools that we can use in our instruction and I am excited about the possibilities for the upcoming year. Along with that excitement is a little anxiety as I consider what tools I could use and how I can use them together. It is one thing to know about these tools and something completely different to know how to use them effectively as to enhance instruction rather than distract from it. In order to figure this out, I think a lot of it will have to be trial and error. I will just have to try different tools in different learning situations and see what works. As I do so, I think I can gain some invaluable insights through the eyes of my students. By asking for feedback from my students, I can hopefully get an idea as to what works and what doesn't.
