We created a survey for our staff to take. The survey asked the staff what would specifically help them to implement technology into their classrooms. The survey results stated that they would like tech team leaders at each grade level. PLP created tech team leaders. The survey also stated that the staff would like an online database of technology lessons.

Our research consisted of working closely with our district technology specialist on the best ways to implement such a big change. We also researched other schools and how they were implementing technology effectively.
