Dont view the Net as One More Thing

• Include the Net in your everyday teaching, making
  it an integral part of the curriculum
• Look for spots that naturally lend themselves to
  integrating technology
• If you start integrating technology into some
  aspects of the day, eventually the Net will
  become as natural as using a marker or pencil
