heather ClearyCommon sense advice for teaching teachers, though it could be applied to students as well.

1. It isn't really about the tool it is about
how you use it: It isn't the word processing software, it's the skills
and usefulness of word processing. It isn't the presentation software, it's how
to create a meaningful and effective presentation. -
7. Acknowledge your teachers' anxiety and
expertise: When I'm working with a teacher who is having a hard time with
something I find easy, I always remind myself of all of the things that person
knows how to do that I don't know how to do. Teachers are not used to not
knowing, looking "dumb" or feeling out of control. I often hear teachers tell me
"I'm bad at this." Remind them how they respond when their students tell them
they are bad at something. They aren't bad at it, they just haven't learned how
to do it yet.

michael chalkThis post was nominated for most influential post in the '09 edublog awards.. i like her final point, "Don't touch the mouse," which i agree is a central tenet of instructing in the technology classroom (unless there is some kind of technological disaster you really can't explain the newbie learner through.. and they won't benefit by doing themselves - which can happen quite often).

Kay TibbsI have been working with teachers to learn to integrate technology into their teaching for almost ten years. Here are a few of the things I have learned - in no particular order (number 10 is probably the most important).
Please share your thoughts and suggestions! -

Don't beat yourself up about the hardcore resisters. There are some people that you just can't change
-
Don't touch the mouse: Tie your arm behind your back if you have to, but try not to take over mousing for your teachers. This is one of the hardest things for me to do, but also one of the most important. When people mouse they learn to do things themselves, when I do it for them they learn to watch me do it.

Differentiate: Provide lots of different avenues for teachers to learn. Create visual handouts, offer group training, create video screencasts and provide one-on-one instruction.
