  • The best educational leaders I know listen so deeply during conversations that you know every word is being absorbed and processed.  This is an essential trait in a leader, as it is through deep listening that we can get to the heart of concerns and attend to the real issues at hand.  Too often we find ourselves having superficial conversations day-to-day, saying ‘hi’ or ‘how’s it going?’ in the hallways.  This is not bad in itself, but if these conversations are the only ones you have with your peers for any length of time, you loose the personal connection that is so important to educators.

  • However, schools can teach students the 21st-century skills they need by involving them in technology planning and implementation. By empowering students to work with adults to solve real-world problems, schools can engage students in meaningful dialogue about technology use, Internet safety, online learning, and filtering. In the process, they hone students' skills in problem solving, collaboration, civic awareness, ethics, leadership, and information and media literacy. Schools benefit from students' insights and experience; at the same time, they show students how their education is relevant for the world today. This kind of involvement captures students' enthusiasm, creates new communication pathways to parents and the community, promotes deeper understanding of the school technology policy, promotes student leadership, improves technology integration schoolwide, and builds respect and trust among all groups.

    Most school or district technology plans call for the inclusion of all stakeholder groups as key to creating a sense of ownership and support that will lead to long-term success. However, these plans often ignore the largest stakeholder group of all-the students.
