This course was divided into two main topics. The first topic we covered was being a leader and innovator in the world of educational technology. The second topic was more of a reflective and evaluation process in educational technology.
For the first part of this class, we read the book "The Innovator's Mindset: Empower Learning, Unleash Talent, and Lead a Culture of Creativity" by George Couros. In this book and in this class, we focused on defining innovation, looking at both what it is and what it isn’t. After that, we shifted towards creating the conditions that empower a culture of learning and innovation in your school or district. The last part of the book helped me focus on how to lead in such a way that you can unleash people’s talent. The second half of this class was more driven towards evaluating and making decisions about educational technology. We really took a look at how the digital transformation has happened in classrooms. I enjoyed this portion of the class as it was a reflective opportunity for myself to look at how I evaluate the technology I choose to utilize in my classroom. We also learned and evaluated school districts technology plans. We read the book "The EdTech Advocate's Guide to Leading Change in Schools" by Mark Gura. As a final project of the course, we created an "Ignite Talk" to recap the information covered throughout the semester.
