Students need tasks, the technology part they will figure out by themselves. Please invite your students to answer my EFL sts questions on wallwisher

Create the entire project yourself first (if possible), so you can see how long it will take, and so that you'll know what problems students may run into.

# data[].attributes.body
You can't do it all yourself. Encourage students to help each other (without grabbing other students' mice).

# data[].attributes.body
When you decide on a project to use with your students, know that often it takes much longer than you estimate. Build in extra time!

# data[].attributes.body
Be willing. Be open. Be comfortable with ambiguity. Be adventurous. Be a listener. Be a taker. Be a giver. Learn from everyone. Teach everyone.

Encourage a culture of sharing among teachers.  Learning from peer teachers is an effective way to spread edtech ideas, tools and practices.

# data[].attributes.body
Start small and go deep. There are so many starting points that it came become overwhelming.

# data[].attributes.body
Remember don't use technology for technology sake.  Use technology to enhance student learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Spend time after school together with teachers from other schools in your district. Leverage their talents and knowledge and find time to share.

# data[].attributes.body
Start slowly. Don't try to learn too many tools at the same time. You'll end up not being able to make use of any truly effectively. And always ask for help! :)

# data[].attributes.body
When you find a tool you like share it  by teaching someone else to use it. It's always good to  provide examples to show. {I like LinoIt.com}

Google any ideas you want to try or technology tools you are going to use first...there are so many videos, resources, lesson plans, etc. all ready being shared

# data[].attributes.body
Really stress that it isn't about the tool; it is about the curriculum, it is about changing behaviors and creating new mindsets.

# data[].attributes.body
Ask questions! Get on Twitter, read some blogs, subscribe to tech publications. There is so much out there waiting for you!

No doubt, PLN is a way to start. Make extra commitments for time and build your confidence by following tech-savvy people.

Start small and don't get discouraged if things don't work perfectly on the first try. Being a leader means navigating some "dicey" territory!

Over the last decade, I've focused on creating environments that foster transformation and turn long-held assumptions on their head. SLACK: When everyone thought that support teams had to weather...

Don't be afraid to click.  It's most unlikely your computer will blow up.  Also, it's great fun to learn new applications alongside students.

# data[].attributes.body
Go and visit other classrooms. Start small. Don't reinvent the wheel! Start with a lesson/unit that is difficult or not very fun to teach.

# data[].attributes.body
Do a skills swap with a member of your PLN. Invite them to your class to demonstrate a tech tool you and your learners are unfamiliar with, and vice versa

Collaborate with others - a PLN and someone at your school who can help you. Make time to play; don't be so hard on yourself when things don't go right!

Learn one tool at a time; otherwise, you will overwhelm yourself and end up back at square one.

Try.  You will never be comfortable, unless you try, and fail, and then try and succeed.  Until then it is just an idea.

Ask your students how they learn & network outside of school. They will coach and be co-learners with you.  eg. facebook leads to NING

Make sure everyone knows the NETS and ICT standards, recite the standards when you request the technology from Administration and IT.
