One of my favorite rituals of the New Year is putting up a fresh wall calendar. Like most of us, I rely on an online tool to keep track of daily appointments and deadlines. But the paper version, with all those blank pages, is a better reminder of the possibilities ahead as we start another trip around the sun.<\/p>\n

Rather than listing resolutions (which tend to get forgotten by the time we flip the page to February), let’s consider inspirations for 2016. What’s one new thing you want to try in the coming year?<\/p>\n

To warm up your thinking, consider these suggestions from Edutopia readers. Some ideas involve technology tools. Others focus more on classroom strategies. A few are healthy reminders to take better care of yourself. Whatever’s on your wish list, Edutopia has plenty of resources to help.<\/p>\n
