Sustaining Technology

Having the latest and greatest technology looks great when you put it in the newspaper and on your website to show people what you have. But the more important factor is the use of technology to enhance learning and keeping it in use. The best way to sustain technology is to find technology that works with each classroom instead of purchasing things that teachers will not use. The technology must support the curriculum. Also the teachers need to have the proper professional development to allow them to be trained to use the technology. Innovations can only be sustained if they are viable options.
