Before we go on, a few words about communication. Schools are notoriously bad at public relations. As the community is ultimately going to be effected by educational change it is extremely important to have their support.
Communication is the key.
Take every opportunity to tell anyone who will listen what you are up to, what your plans are and where you are going. Make sure parents are informed. Many aspects of using technology are unfamiliar to most parents. Send home informational sheets and permission slips that clearly describe the new technology and explain how their child will be using it. Be aware of individuals.
