Encouraging the use of technology

I hope to set an example and encourage my colleagues to try new ideas in the area of technology.  I feel like if I can learn to use some of these new things- most of them can and should at least give it a try.  By participating in all of the professional development opportunities and then making the attempt to incorporate changes into my lesson plans, I will be able to share what works and what doesn't for my grade level team.  I have found a tremendous amount of good resources for sharing with my peers to help further our curriculum and by showing them that we can do it together I think it will not be such a big undertaking.
