2008-09-22 19:18:01 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Everyone has to start somewhere and I think it's important to appreciate beginners and small steps. Principals and teachers too often feel they're too busy to learn to use the technology, but they will when it meets their needs.

2008-09-22 19:19:05 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Principals don't have to be good a technology, the teachers just need to see them trying
2008-09-22 19:19:09 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: One of my colleagues in AZ has developed a fantastic observation tool for technology walk-throughs. She is tech director and does the walk-throughs with her building principals. They collect the "data" and the teachers decide what to do with it.
2008-09-22 19:19:31 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: The principal can then challenge to teachers to do the same
2008-09-22 19:19:39 [Message] theartguy -> -EdTechTalk: The only effective way to get everyone onboard (IMHO) is to prove to them it's better AND easier than what they're doing NOW.
2008-09-22 19:19:40 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I agree James!

2008-09-22 19:22:40 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: using technology doesn't always take less time and there may be a big learning curve before it becomes productive for people
2008-09-22 19:23:06 [Message] Durff -> -EdTechTalk: i think using it one teacher by one teacher works

2008-09-22 19:36:49 [Message] MariaK -> -EdTechTalk: I think the spelling guidelines should be jus the same as one has in the classroom
