Would you be able to benefit from having a full time tech coordinator to assist technology integration in your building? YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! How would we benefit?
 * teachers would actually be able to use technology
 * when I was Georgia we actually had a full time tech coordinator at my school. Here's how it worked....
 * 1) we had mandatory weekly meeting with the Tech Coord. This would last 15 minutes.
 * 2) we were given hands on-one on one training on specific websites, tech tools, software.
 * 3) teachers wrote lessons plans that were required to use what we had learned
 * 4) the tech coordinator also facilitated longer training classes on more common software such as Excel, Word and Powerpoint.
 * 5) the tech coordinator assisted teachers in setting up websites. Class websites were a requirement. (and keep updated)
 * 6) the tech coordinator did NOT fix anything
