You’ve Gotta Know When To Let Go

I am convinced that everything I do with technology takes much longer than it should. Perhaps it is my perfectionist nature, or just plain inexperience. I’m not afraid to try out new things and I’m certainly not timid about exploring, but sometimes it is an agonizing process. One of the questions I have to ask myself is, “Is it worth it?” I don’t mean technology. I think integrating technology is definitely worthwhile. What I need to assess is the time and effort worthwhile in light of how the particularly tool will be used. The answer may be no in some cases. I need to learn when to let go and when to plough ahead. In the case of my Moodle course, there were some some things I could have let go. However, I will say this: the euphoria felt over finally, after many days of trying, figuring out how to get something to work was pretty worthwhile!
