TASA Joins Launch of CoSN's Critical Initiative to Empower 21st Century Superintendents April 2, 2008 TASA is pleased to announce its participation in an exciting and innovative new leadership initiative—Empowering the 21st Century Superintendent—launched this week by the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN). The new CoSN effort, joined also by the Colorado and North Carolina administrator associations, provides superintendents with the latest tools and resources they need to understand the transformative role of education technology, and lays out a blueprint for technology leadership and action. The initiative is designed to help superintendents build their knowledge and skills to become more effective, visionary technology leaders in their communities. An advisory committee of superintendents provided direction for the initiative and CoSN conducted focus groups and personal interviews to help develop a robust set of resources for superintendents. Resources include: * Five Themes & Action Steps for Technology Leadership (detailed toolkit; PDF) * Empowering the 21st Century Superintendent (four-minute video that features superintendents—including Annette Griffin, Carrollton-Farmer's Branch ISD, and Hector Montenegro, Arlington ISD— sharing personal thoughts about their own roles as catalysts for 21st century learning)

After a long day of work in the La Porte school district, technology guru Jamey Osborne can't wait to get home and delve into his "Second Life." His computer transports him — or at least a 3-D representation of him that's noticeably younger and hipper — to a peaceful yacht club where he chats with friends. When he's done sailing, his so-called avatar might attend a musical concert or a seminar about how to better use technology in public school classrooms.
