This had a snowball effect. As everyone quickly learned what others learned, we could continue moving. It became obvious that those who share information in the technology world are those who progress the quickest. Power plays and people who strive to be the only technology leaders stifle good technology programs. It has become obvious at our school that great technology programs exist out of great teamwork.
Great teamwork needs organization and direction.
Our technology committee was great. We taught, and we expected the information to be shared and then taught again to others. Our first successful grant brought us a multimedia presentation lab of 12 computers, a big screen television, VCRs, and software. We learned to share as teachers. Classes moved in and out from this small lab.
