1. Get to know the tech you already have.
For teachers who would like to use more technology in their classrooms, the first step I suggest is to get to know your existing technology as well as possible.
This was a lesson I had to learn early in my own career. When I was a new teacher, there was a program we were all supposed to use in class for a certain number of hours each week, and I made sure that my students met those requirements—but I didn’t really have any idea what they were doing.
