I can totally relate with your example of people resisting change. A lot of times it's hard to get people out of their comfort zone. You and the book made a good point that these tools are not going away. Students are going to use the technology whether we block it out of the classroom or not. It makes sense to teach them and our co-workers the proper etiquette and what to look for while online. Thanks for the video!

It is difficult when your colleagues don't want to change. We have that problem at my school now. We provide lots of professional development but still some people resist and flat out won't change. The struggle is that the best way to learn how to use new tech is to use it. Some people think they don't have time and therefore won't. Aside from a mandate from administration I'm not sure how to reach these people.

I agree that we need to have all staff on board. You gave some really good examples of how to get everyone on the same page. I would love to see this set up in every school. Again, you are right on when you stated teachers need to be able to teach the content which means they need to take the time and learn it! If only we could get everyone to TRY to do this.

I totally agree about getting more teachers on board. That is the whole reason for going back to school, taking grad classes and learning current trends. There are too many teachers stuck in their ways and they are not ready to rise with the times. Well said.
