going to take the "technology lead", and it might just as well be you. Technology Leadership in Schools will help
you develop the skills, knowledge, and values needed
to lead the integration of technology in schools. Learn
about the characteristics of effective leaders and how
to create staff development programs that work! And be
ready to face the tough policy issues - equity, digital
divide, privacy, and more. -MU Direct |
Of
all of the courses in this amazing program, ISLT 7366,
Technology Leadership in Schools, challenged me more than
any other. Perhaps that's because I'm very confident in
my role as an educational technology specialist as it relates
to classroom practices and technology applications, but
until now I have not been as secure in my expertise in
relation to my district-wide planning role. The research
and application of knowledge required to successfully complete
the Computer Facilities Survey, Tech Policies Presentation,
Technology Staffing, and Budget pieces as well as the Assistive Technology Case Study and Staff Development Plan have equipped me to better
comprehend and fulfill all of my job responsibilities.
I have shared with our district’s
technology director the wealth of useful online resources
organized in the context
of this course and the in-depth assignments that have
been completed in this class. She was VERY excited and
wants
to utilize some of the resources/procedures to jump-start
our technology committee which has been somewhat of a
figurehead committee with no viable role in our district.
So not only
am I confident that I will be using products generated
during this course to enhance my job performance, I also
see that information gathered here could now serve as
the catalyst to transform our technology committee into
a productive
entity. |
