Getting more technology in my school

I feel that there are so many ways that I can encourage and support my colleagues as they try to use more technology in their curriculum.  In some ways I have already started to do this.  As a part of our PL221 plan we are supposed to be looking into ways to address a student need in their area of computation and I have decided to start using the math program xtramath.org to enhance what I am already doing in my classroom.  I am working with my principal to set up a meeting with interested teachers to show them the features of xtramath and how to set up their own class.  I think that my support of other teachers in this way will help them integrate more technology in their classrooms.  I have also been talking to several teachers about how to set up a teacher web page and have been sharing with them the positive feedback I have been receiving from parents.  By sharing my own success and struggles with implementing technology into my own classroom and by offering to help out other teachers as they try to integrate technology into their own room I will help ensure that not only the students in my classroom, but also in other classrooms throughout my building will be receiving the dynamic instruction that they need.
