Thanks Karen, this has been a great post for the beginning of the year.
I also liked the advice offered in, You Don't Have to Be A Technology Whiz But You Do Need to Be Fearless, where the author notes how students learn from us as role models, so how we react to new things and change influences them as well.
Her eight tips as advice for teachers include: not juding or blaming the tools, giving things a go (more than once), playing, asking questions and seeking help. But most importantly, Be fearless. “
"...look to our students for how we should embrace technology; try it, use it, make it work for you."
