I watched a video by David Wells titled, "Plan Less, Do More". His podcast was inspiring to me. He said that having a plan is good, but the learning aspect is more important than the planning itself. Therefore, don't stress as much on the planning process and focus on what the students will or need to learn. As long as they learn something, you've done your job. But, the more complicated the plan the less connected it is to student planning. Plans are still needed though.
He believes that technology needs to be embedded into your plan. Technology needs to be integrated into lesson plans, professional development, school curriculum, etc. Nothing will ever go perfectly, but you need to make the best of it and accept those challenges. You also need to realize that changes need to be made all the time in order to have a successful classroom. You have to be able to talk to other teachers to get answers to questions that you may have or for ideas that you may find useful.
