The School Administrator as Instructional Technology Leader (ISBE #826)

Ever feel like you’re on technology overload? Educational leaders are inundated with information and solicitation regarding the growing technological resources that claim to dramatically increase student achievement, along with organizational efficiency and effectiveness. At the same time, resources may be uncertain and possibly decreasing, making it more important than ever to make educationally and fiscally wise decisions about technology in the district, school, and programs. This course will help you do exactly that!!

Start Date:		1/27/2011  8:30am
Program:		New technologies are continually becoming available to educators. Yet, according to Larry Cuban in Oversold and Underused, “Technology use in our schools has not yet moved from promise to practice.” How can effective technologies be identified and implemented? In this Academy, you will calculate a resource analysis for your district, school or program and use this analysis to begin planning for the effective use of technologies locally. This academy is distinguished from others in that, with a focus on instruction, it will name unique classifications of student technology use and identify a relationship between effective technology use and student engagement. (Please be sure to know the number of instructional computers available in your setting and your total student enrollment.)
