Dead heading

     I think that's the term my wife uses when she snips or pinches off the old blossoms of her mums.  This, in theory (at least in our house), facilitates new growth because the nutrients are redirected to new budding.  In line with this whole pruning theme, I began to ponder on what might need to be pruned/pinched/dead-headed in my life.
     Would you believe it:  technology!  I'm really struggling here.  I'm like a kid in a candy store when it comes to technology and all the neat gadgets and Web 2.0 tools.  Which one do I want or need?  Should I become an expert in one or two areas?  or what?  In several workshops and trainings I have attended, these applications, etc. have been referred to as "tools" -- "technology is a tool" to use in the classroom.  DUDE!  One can only have so many tools in the toolbox, and of those tools, most won't get used.  This is the dilemma?  Which ones do I disregard?  They are all useful at one time or another, but I'm not that proficient at using certain tools.  Do I start practicing on them (like blogging and webpages) or concentrate on others?  I'm so confused!
     Perhaps I deadhead/prune later.
