A few things to try out with Technology for the 2012 year and the rest of the 2011-2012 school year.
Find or be an edtech mentor/friend with another educator at your school.
You most likely have a mentor/friend that you converse with related to teaching and learning. Use that same mentor/fried or find another mentor/friend that you feel comfortable using technology with to be a edtech mentor/fried when you need help or support with technology personally and/or with students.
Try Twitter (really!) www.twitter.com
I have been user twitter for the past year, without even personally posting a comment, and have gained numerous ideas and thoughts related to technology and a variety of educational topics.
Try searching and following #edtech or #edchat when you setup a Free account.
Join a Professional EdTech Network
I have recently done this but have not explored it enough. Very similar to how local Professional Learning Networks (PLNs) might be setup between you and your colleagues, try joining an online Professional EdTech Network to receive emails or notifications with ideas and content related to your interests. Below are some to look into.
