I suggest to do collaboration per grade level to address specific grade level needs.  Sometimes we present professional development but some grade level can't seem to fit it in their curriculum or even wrap their minds in using specific programs, software in their classroom.  I think it will be more effective to work with each grade level and perhaps even survey what specific area they need to see technology working.  I know it works in every area but sometimes, showing them will make it easy for them to make technology part of their instruction and enhance their curriculum.

Unfortunately, technology is something all teacher's need to be using in the classroom.  Again, the idea of presenting work using technology is a great idea!  Students don't seem to mind logging into the computers at school, researching, applying the information to a PowerPoint, and then adjusting the slideshow to fit their personality.   Students also enjoy webquests and other activities as well.  Teachers unwilling to use technology need to be shown how and need to understand technology is a critical portion of education today.
