How would you approach this situation. I do not want to "step on anyone's toes" with my new ways of incorporating technology and new techniques into the classroom. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Ah yes, teachers can often be quite snobby when it comes to a new teacher and their ideas. This is actually understandable, because educators are thrown new ideas every 3-5 years, only to find they will be gone as soon as the implementation has begun. This no doubt causes many teachers to be cynical, but not all of them. If I were you I would figure out which teachers you can share with which ones you can't. You will only frustrate yourself if you offer ideas to teachers who will never be interested, no matter how good the ideas are.
