Summary
We have a paralyzing number of choices in our culture today. In teaching you may get hung up on decisions like: What planner or grade book should I buy? Should I use interactive notebooks with my class? Would I be better off with this whole class quiz app or should I find another one? Which desk arrangement would be best for the types of activities I'm doing with kids this week? Today's episode will help you make better decisions, make them more quickly, and feel comfortable sticking with them after they've been made (instead of second-guessing yourself.)
