Iroquois Central's Path to Technology

This is an ISTE guest blog by the Superintendent of Western New York's Iroquois Central School District, Neil Rochelle, author of the blog Changing High Schools. It's a great overview of the different ways technology can be utilized in the classroom.
He also talks about the process of implementing technology into his district.

"We started with a few extremely motivated teachers. Blogging was the start. Posting assignments, homework (being absent was not longer an excuse to not having work done!) and even lecture notes. A student would volunteer to be ’scribe’ for the day and post the day’s lecture/class notes."

The first sentence in his quote is the key to almost every successful program I have seen.
