Week 1 Long-Range Plan for Technology

Through the summary of key ideas I learned that the Long-Range Plan of Technology includes a plan for students, parents, educators, as well as community and school board members. This can be very useful when as an instructional leader I am bringing together all stakeholders in decision making. There is a repetitive focus on preparing our students to have 21st century knowledge to interact in a global marketplace. In order to prepare our students, the information must be relevant and diversified and foster problem solving and reasoning skills. As an instructional leaders, my goal will be to lead the way in technology usage and providing the time needed for teachers to apply themselves with the confidence to assist students. I want to be the encourager and supporter for my educators as they embrace technology in their differentiated instruction. I see my role as preparing educators for the 21st century workplace so they in turn can present 21st century learning. I plan to do this through modeling, assessing our needs, and providing financial means.
