Everyone wants to know what works. Checkout what educators in Michigan are doing at "Best Practices in Michigan"
You can find lessons aligned to content and technology standards for elementary, middle, and high school classes in PDF format and easy to follow. You can use these as models of best practices with the teachers you are working with. Some examples for primary classrooms include:
