What is the best way to get others at your schools to use more technology in their teaching and the students' learning?

I think the best way to get teachers at my school to use technology is a combination of a few things.

First they have to see that it is easy to use for themselves. If a teacher thinks or feels comfortable using something they will be more likely to use it with their students. Along those same lines, they have to see that it is something that they couldn't do without technology. Most teachers feel that if they can get the same message across without having to sign-up for lab time or check-out laptops, they may as well teach the lesson more traditionally.

Second, they have to see the technology as something that their students will want to use. The teachers do not want to have to sell the students on using anything. They feel that if the students are already interested, teaching the tech will not over shadow the content material that they are trying to teach simultaneously. Most teachers at my school feel like they are already selling education and coming to school, and they don't need another item on their list.

Third, they have to know that it is mandatory for them to use! Like most things if they can get away with not using it or doing it then they will do just that. At my school, administration has to take a stronger role in making tech integration a must do. Our administration already embraces technology and loves to add things to the building for availability. But it will always be the same teachers who are using everything, because they want to use it.
