Summary:The writer of this narrative is a Canadian teacher-librarian. In 1996, she began a 6-year journey down a raging river called information technology (IT). This experience resulted in a gradual increase of tension in her professional life. After much pondering, she has made necessary adjustments in her teaching that enhance rather than hinder her practice. She no longer blindly integrates IT, as she once did. Rather, she discretely chooses technology tools that clearly benefit her particular community and are manageable for those affected by her choices.
