12. How would you approach resistance by teachers to use of technology in the classroom?

Teacher are hardheaded.  Teachers are cocky.  But we have to be don't we?  If not, how could one face kids on a daily basis with the intent of making them smarter and better thinkers?  Therefor teachers are naturally resistant to change, because we think we are already doing a pretty dang good job.  And what is changing the most in education???  That's right ... technology. I have found the best way to get teacher to think about change is to convince them that they can do better - they can be better.  As an administrator, I would not mandate change to teachers. I would sell them a product.  I would be the Sham-Wow guy.
