Apply strategies for and knowledge of issues related to managing the change process in schools. (Discuss the history of technology use in schools)

There have been times during the meetings when conversation erupts over implementing technology regularly into the classroom especially with the wiimote. I wanted the teachers to realize that, yes, there is a better and more expensive tool out there, but due to economical situations, it is unattainable. However, the administration feels that the wiimote is the next best thing. And the administration is using the technology learning community to evaluate and discuss its implementation. As it should be, the administration is not making a final call on the wiimote until teachers get to use it comfortably. The experiences of the technology will show that communication or lack there of will decide whether the technology is a success or failure.
