Computer Education Survival Tip #1032:
When the history teacher breaks down for the third time this week and weeps openly in the lounge, that's not the best time to talk about how students actually sprint to your classroom to be first to lay claim to one of the quad-core machines you just installed.

Computer Education Survival Tip #511:
When you are teaching fellow teachers how to use the latest technology, and that stunning new French teacher is amazed at your skill and asks if you will "come fix my home computer," even though it may seem wrong, the word is pronounced "wee" despite its being spelled "oui". Got it? Wee.
