Learn from your more knowledgeable colleagues.

• To become more tech savvy and improve your tech-spirit in the coming year, find a teacher who did great things with technology last year and make friends.
• Try to ignore technology naysayers, or at least learn the cause of their concerns. Is it really technology that's bugging them -- or is it an administrator, bad coffee, or back-to-school blues?
• Join a mailing list or a message board such as Education World's Technology Integration message board. That way, if you can't find a soul to commiserate or celebrate with at your own school, there's always a friendly and supportive teacher somewhere who's willing to cheer you on.
