There are also other factors at play that just make it harder e.g. the notion that I'm just a 'trainee' so don't have to listen to me, etc. Maybe I just need some time to recharge my batteries, which might result in a few ideas.

A few schools have this, but most don't. Thanks to a generous "donation", I have provided one collaborating teacher with five UMPCs (the ones I showed off last semester). I also lent her a few USB modems for wireless Internet access and showed her how to share the wireless access like I think you have done at your end. Group work, station-based work, or cooperative or collaborative tasks then become the order of the day. But these have to be designed so that they are fairly intuitive. After all, you have noted how your students don't read instructions. Ah, the digital native! But I encourage you keep at it. I also applaud your efforts to stick to your beliefs. It takes a bit of time for your students to get used to the way you do things. --Dr Tan Hi Laremy,
