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!) I am a first year teacher as well. My method for doing things like this is just sharing what I have done in my classroom that was a success. When we plan together that is usually when ideas are shared among each other. Most of the veteran teachers are not interested in using technology but I have found that they first need to learn how so that they are comfortable doing so. Once they hit that comfort zone, they will love using it. I taught the veteran teacher on my third grade team and she has become obsessed with using it.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I also think that the veteran teachers become scared about technology and you just have to show them how easy it is to use and it will make their lives and their students lives easier Rated On: October 17, 2015 4:17 am Rated By: Krystalynn Gulczewski
