13. • We don't have to find information anymore - it can
find us! Example: RSS (Explanation)
• Look at your curriculum to find natural integration ideas. Don’t
use a tool just to say you’ve used it…it should fit.
• Do what works for YOU! It's impossible to do it all - find
something that you enjoy and find a way to incorporate it into
your curriculum.
• Take time to explore! Play with some of the applications your
curious about!
• Don't forget about liabilities when you use some of these
things in your classroom. Always error on the side of caution…
• Remember copyright rules!
