In evaluating our technology plan, we have come to realize that this one step has proven one of the most beneficial. As everyone quickly learned what others knew, we could use Microsoft PowerPoint. Teachers helped students and other teachers, students helped each other and their teachers, and parents were more than welcome. At that point, they shared the information. We also decided early on that information had to be shared.
Technology has enough information that everyone can always learn and no one knows it all.
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.
