Getting Started
You don't have to be "techy" to use technology well. If tools feel overwhelming, this is your calm starting point — the essentials, in plain language, one small step at a time.
The only rule that matters
Add one tool at a time and use it until it's automatic before adding another. Teachers who try ten tools at once quit; teachers who master one a month build real momentum.
What you'll learn
- What the devices in your room actually do — and how to start them
- A simple system for files, tabs, and passwords so nothing gets lost
- The handful of fixes that solve most everyday tech problems
- How to build confidence without burning out
A gentle first month

| 2 | Set up one place for your files (see the workflow lesson). |
| 3 | Try one tool from a track that solves a real pain point. |
| 4 | Learn the three fixes in the troubleshooting lesson. |
