  Case: New Teacher
I am a first year teacher and I get very nervous sharing my ideas with my colleagues who have been teaching several years. 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!)
Some veteran teachers are scared of change, but most welcome new ideas. I am a fairly new teacher (6 years) and my colleagues are veteran teachers (20 years+). If I have a lesson or activity that I think can be useful to them, I talk about it in a conversational manner, describing how my kids enjoyed it and how much they learned. Usually when I am speaking of it in an excited manner, they tend to be intrigued and ask to see it. Many times, they will try it in their classroom, and almost always they say it was very helpful. So, I would try to just bring it up when you and your colleagues are just having a conversation and see how receptive they are. They may have you start emailing your new lessons to them.

Comments: this solution allows the new teacher to casually suggest new ideas without being overbearing. it is a good way to incorporate the old with the new
