• Move toward embedded programs like the 23 things that involve teachers in their own pd and requires them to research, reflect, and use the tools.
  
  
  
• Put technology that teachers use on the top priority list.  If they cannot print, fix it.  If their computer doesn't work, get them a new one.  Does the vice principal really need a new computer every year?  

• Put in digital citizenship behavior codes in addition (or as part of) honor codes.  Students should respect the privacy of other students and should not have the right to film or transmit the image of another without their permission.  Students who do so, should be disciplined.  The enemy is the behavior, not the tool.  It is time to teach people how to behave and to teach students that online behavior has offline consequences.
• Understand that cell phones are part of the Internet and part of digital citizenship.
