Ask the school board of directors what they think is the most important benefit of education, and then explain how technology provides better for it.

You have to speak their language. Please visit my websites http://www.theCampusCenter.com and http://www.honorscholar.com and see how I have devised a way to integrate revenue sharing and education. In these times school boards are being pinched from all corners. We need to start think of diverse and alternative revenue sharing in order to facilitate the costs associated with technology. It's time the educational community was valued at $20 Billion like Myspace and Facebook. We have the power to do that. Please review my sites and see how.

Take kids who use technology to the School Board meeting and have them tell the members what the technology means to their education.

If your students aren't using technology yet find kids that are and show the board what they are doing. You should be able to find videos online of students using or talking about using technology. Good luck, N.

Set up a wiki page and a blog. Post students multi-media projects on the wiki and have them write on the blog about what benefits they see in using technology. School boards love to look good. A page that shows off students work will be apprciated
