"I've used the Interwrite Schoolpad for 4 years now. I finally got my entire math department to purchase them first semester, and they all use them. They love coming to tell me they learned to do something new with it, or a website they use with it. I installed all of them, troubleshooted a few of them. Then, the English department got jealous, so I showed them where to get them, installed them, and now we collaborate in the hallways on how we each use them.Implementing by department is effective for implementing any new technology, because users are close enough to ask questions of each other and can provide new ideas pertaining to the subject matter they teach.
We also use the CPS units for a lot of the assessments, and are just now getting to learn to put them into our presentations."

Thanks for sharing your experience Robert. Keep up the good work at South Texas ISD!
