We do something similar as Brad. Most of the time we start a project with one or two teachers who buy into the project and then when they have it running we get more of the other teachers involved.

It has teachers and administrators from each building and also the supt. We discuss technology that is used in the classroom, problems/concerns, and also where we would like to go in the future. It is called the technology committee. Members will also be used to introduce new technology in their building when rolled out. Manson Northwest Webster-Home of the Cougars!

Do any of you have technology advisory boards? How do they work? How often do you meet? I feel I need a "buy in" of staff who see us moving forward. I have been rolling out some great things with resistance (and i know that happens) -- but wondering if an advisory group who also agrees helps the rollout process. My counter to some have been "would you visit a hospital with outdated procedures/technology?". But just curious in what others are doing. Thanks-- and happy holidays to everyone. I hope you enjoy your break!
