It's very easy to get over-excited by shiny new 'toys' or exciting apps and to think they will transform the way you and your pupils work.

Excitement in itself is a good thing, of course but, if it's not properly focused, it can be counter-productive and it can lead to a huge amount of wasted time and money.

This section of the website looks at the process of selecting which educational tool to use. It's possible to follow the steps on your own and to reach a suitable conclusion but you'll probably find it much easier to work with a colleague or two so you can discuss your ideas and perhaps challenge your initial assumptions.
