How can my new learning assist me as an instructional leader who is guiding technology use and integration at a campus?

Examining the Long Range Plan for Technology helps me to be more aware of standards for students and teachers. It provides me with the background to understand the purpose of our district and campus technology plan. Since I am a veteran teacher of more than 20 years, I feel a little at a disadvaantage when it comes to technology, although I use it several times daily both personally and professionally.

As a leader, knowing the Long Range Plan for Technology helps me know what is very important for my teachers to know and be able to do. As I sit on the Campus Improvement Committee, I will have the knowledge base to discuss technology issues that we write into our campus plan.

I had no idea that the US was so far behind countries like India in the number of college graduates. We have the opportunity to provide all students with the tools necessary to be ready for college or trade school of some kind. It's time we made it a priority.
