This presentation discusses various ways to promote technology use on a school campus. It provides ideas such as inviting parents to campus for technology days to see student projects, holding technology contests between classes or teachers, developing a "Techie Tribe" of teachers to try new tools, highlighting campus technology endeavors through newsletters and community partnerships, creating a technology center for teacher learning, and producing informational videos and posters. The overall goal is to motivate teachers and share successful technology initiatives happening on campus.
