I hear about so many new technologies and software for e-learning and I haven’t time to explore them fully. How do I decide which e-learning products I should learn about?

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with what’s available. In the first instance I would suggest you concentrate on learning about the technologies that are currently available at your own institution. For example, find out what interactive whiteboards you have, check out your VLE and see if there is any resource creation software that your institution already owns.
