Does your tech integration add value? 

Does your tech integration add value to your lessons, units, and more importantly, does it improve student learning? If you are unsure, or the answer is no, then stop, and start again. This will happen over and over throughout the development of courses as tech becomes seamlessly integrated into education, it's natural selection.
