Be brave. Try the new stuff!!!!

OK fellow E teacher's, so your browser just changed to version 6 billion point twelve.  Your life is now consumed by hours of revising what used to work in your online class, and your four year old twins have started talking to you via skype because its the only way to get to you.  Sound familiar?

How can we solve this problem?

Some Tips:
1) Just because its called an upgrade does not mean its an improvement.
2) You can often preview upgrades by becoming a Beta tester.  If it screws up, drop back a level and no harm no foul.
3) treat Beta tests like scientists if you have time. But if you are a normal person, remember that updates can often wait.  If you were in a face to face class you wouldn't generally start a new textbook curriculum series on March 12.  So don't feel the need to accept the upgrade.
