What did you learn from Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 of our textbook?
Chapters 5 and 6 from The Tech Advocate's Guide to Leading Change in Schools by Mark Gura provided both an overview of creating a vision and then ultimately, making that vision a reality. Before this course, I was unaware that a "technology plan" was an actual document with a vision, needs assessment, goals / objectives, and other articles. The more I reflect on it, it's completely obvious how important it is to have such document in place. Technology is an essential tool that allows students and staff opportunities to communicate, collaborate and create. It's important to reflect on ideas like "where we are", "where are we going", and "how are we going to get there". f you don't have a plan/vision, it is difficult to have an idea about where you need to be heading. Then, once you have a concrete plan to those questions above, its important to consider what is it going to take to get us to our goal and that is where PD comes into play. It's important to come up with meaningful PD that is selected from multiple members of the staff or a technology team. The PD sessions should ultimately guide your district towards the visions and goals they have.
