STEP ONE: Getting Started
Teachers recommend that you talk to peers for excellent ideas and
contacts for innovative programs. You may also want to meet others
in the technology integration field. Below is a list of ideas you
might want to pursue!
Find a mailing list:
A great way to meet peers with similar interests and expertise is
to join a mailing list, also known as a list serv. List servs are
email-based public forums covering a particular topic. Think of
them as online group discussions that let you pose questions to
friends and experts in a variety of fields. There are hundreds of
education-related list servs that teachers and administrators can
subscribe to! Anyone with access to email can join a list serv.
