I have attempted to start a technology revolution at my high school, Seckman High School. As a Professional Development Representative at my high school, as well as fulfilling the requirements of one of my doctoral assignments, this task has great value and meaning to me. Some of the 10 following tips have been learned the hard way, while others just happened to work out well. Either way, these 10 tips should hopefully provide some assistance as more and more buildings and districts start their very own technology revolutions... 1 - Make sure the administration is on board...
This first tip is not always 100% necessary, but I can say from experience that it will certainly make things easier. 2 - Lay the groundwork and foundation by asking simple questions... 3 - Some educators will be advanced...but most will not be - GO SLOW... 5 - Support and encourage your shining stars...

While many of you may be heading for the beach this week, it won't be long before you're ready to start exploring some new tools to help your students be better creators and collaborators when you go back to school in the fall.

Did I mention most of them are free? While screen-cast tutorials may not be the most edge-of-your-seat viewing, once you've got the basics, you can start digging in to the tool itself.
And the best part is, learning to use these tools is as fun for you as it is for your students. What are you waiting for?

My son, who just turned three, just started his first school. He excitedly talks about it, plays pretend school with his Superman and Thomas the Train toys, and loves to carry his new backpack around our house. Watching his eagerness, I hope that, in some way, we all feel that way about this new school year. And why not be excited? We teach in amazing times.
However, sometimes we need some help getting started. 1. Oftentimes new initiatives, whether they be related to educational technology, incorporating a new program for math, or even something as simple as a new district policy regarding attendance, these can all throw us for a loop. We need to embrace and try these new initiatives, while realizing that it's okay to fail. My Advice Try one new thing a week. 2. I personally think that learning to work with other people and sharing information appropriately is the most important skill we can be building with students (and educators) today. 3. 4. 5.
