I do understand it takes time, but I work in a K-12 district where all teachers and admin have had laptops for 8 years and I still do not really have an administrator who models best practices. I am not sure how to move administrators into using the technology that is always available, I still have them using overheads for their faculty meetings...Teachers feel the laptops are "theirs" and do not use them in their teaching practices, more for email. I have some teachers who do use any and all technology they can get their hands on, but when they are observed the principals have no idea what they are doing or what the benefit is.
I am thinking of approaching one principal this summer to see if he would be interested in starting a wiki for DI discussions in his building, a way for teachers to post successes and challenges with different approaches they try. Not sure how else to make a dent in the current practice, any advise would be appreciated. thank you. Robin
