On Sunday I asked you to share your best advice for new teachers. In total, after removing the spam submissions, there were 131 submissions. As I promised, I've compiled all of the tips into a Google presentation. When it was listed, I linked to the Twitter account or blog of the person submitting a tip. Thank you to everyone that took the time to submit their best advice for new teachers.

I enjoy reading your blog everyday at least two or three times. You have inspired me to blog and to teach a class on web 2.0. Your recent surveys for new teachers and What are you going to try new this year were very inspiring. I like responding and I am fortunate that you include my responses. I feel valued by the larger educational community. I am inspired by the other responses and I look forward to trying a few in the classroom. Every old dog can learn a new trick. Plus, I see that I am on the correct path and that there are many dedicated and creative educators in the classroom for all the right reasons. I find hope in these forums. Thank you.
Tech 221,
Thank you for the kinds words and thank you for contributing the sharing of knowledge amongst educators.

You know teaching is a difficult job, when the first tip says do not overplan and the second tip says to have a back-up plan for everything.
Obviously, there is no "one right way."
Great idea, this collection! Thank you for letting me join! Linn from Stockholm
What a very nice idea. I am struck by how many of the suggestions here are about the importance of community as teachers learn their profession. This isn't surprising -- we learn just as our students do, through practice, and through social connections. Many of the best practices for a beginning teacher could be also applied as best practices for your students as they begin to learn your subject!
(BTW, I blog at http://theactiveclass.com, but that's not tied to my Google account so I thought I'd mention it here).
