How to reach a significant portion of Faculty

Taken from the same Open Education Resource (OER) Commons as an earlier post on dealing with resisters.

1. Involve all stakeholders in the dialogue and discussion, including teachers, parents, students, board members, business partners. Focus on and stress that "the ends (curricula goals and objectives) must guide the means (technology) and not the other way around".
2. Focus on curriculum benefits rather than the technical 'bells and whistles' (even though the latter can sometimes appeal, and help generate interest).
3. Ensure sufficient teacher education (vs. training) in the integration of technology into the curriculum; i.e. spend sufficient time on awareness building and interest generation, so that they're actively asking to know more, wanting to try it out.
