  • Participative Leadership.Participative leaders work with their staff members to guide the school and its programs
  • Bureaucratic Leadership.Bureaucrats generally prioritize according to established rules and regulations, some of which can inhibit innovation.
  • Charismatic Leadership.Charismatic individuals can exercise almost any leadership style and garner sufficient staff support to move the organization in the chosen direction.
  • Laissez-faire Leadership.Laissez-faire leaders allow staff members to determine the direction they wish to move individually or as a group
  • Benevolent Despot.Theoretically, benevolent despots use charm, good will and savoir faire to get exactly what they want.
  • Autocratic Leadership.Many people are drawn to, respect and gladly follow an autocrat — someone who possesses power and does not hesitate to use it to achieve goals.

    Again, not specific to technology leadership, but a different spin on different leadership strategies in supervision. I found these to be interesting in who I might learn best under, and how I might want to be supervised.

Understand trait theory of leadership is and how you can adopt some of the required cha... - 0 views

  • Trait theory of leadership is one of the first academic theories of leadership and attempts to answer why some people are good leaders and others are not.
  • Proponents to this theory, which is now considered largely out of date, believe that leadership development consists of identifying and measuring leadership qualities, screening potential leaders from non-leaders, and then training those with potential.
  • As a result, it is prudent to first understand these ‘traits’ and then develop areas of weakness, in order to become a great leader yourself.

Six social-media skills every leader needs | McKinsey & Company - 0 views

  • here’s a mismatch between the logic of participatory media and the still-reigning 20th-century model of management and organizations, with its emphasis on linear processes and control. Social media encourages horizontal collaboration

      Corporate culture traditional leadership models still based on the ideals of industrialism- not unlike public education in the US. We need more horizontal classrooms.

  • instant communication
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Not always a desirable attribute- instant communication can equal misinformation and inaccuracies. Take 24-7 news. Misinformation is often disseminated because of the pressure to get the information out quickly, rather than accurately.

      As is the case with most switches.
  • Leveraging
    • Eric Telfer
       
      I think that this is one of social media's greatest asset. 
  • Equally important is the skill of creating and sustaining a body of social followers who help to spread and reinforce the message.
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Value of PLNs as leaders in tech integration.
  • n traditional corporate communications, consumption is a mostly passive act: you are pretty much left alone to make sense of messages and to assess their authenticity and credibility. In the social-media realm, information gets shared and commented on within seconds
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Good for efficient leverage, but lends itself to "knee-jerk" reactions. This will cut down on analysis paralysis, though. 
  • engage more closely with stakeholders
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Parents about classroom events, assignments, projects, papers etc...
  • To achieve this goal, leaders must become tutors and strategic orchestrators of all social-media activities within their control

What's Involved in Technology Planning? | ECLKC - 1 views

  • Technology planning is a process. TechSoup has broken it down into seven phases.Establish leadership and support. Assess your resources. Define your needs. Explore solutions. Write the plan. Get funding. Implement the plan.
  • Your organization's technology vision (together with a brief section about the current state of technology in your organization) can take the form of an executive summary. How will technology further your organization's mission? What is your long-range vision for technology use? While this isn't necessarily an essential part of the plan, this section can give an overview of your technology goals as they relate to your organization's mission.

      What is the tech vision for GMUHS? How can this apply to us?
  • Taking your hardware and software inventory may be the most well-defined part of technology planning. As a result, you have more options for how to get it done. If someone on staff has even a minimal knowledge of hardware and software vocabulary, you may well be able to do it in-house. Is there someone who knows how to find out the processor speed of a computer?

      In digging into my district tech plans I found we have not updated ours since 2012! This was shocking to me. This clear timeline of how to write and implement a plan will be very helpful in our writing of a new plan.
  • Whether or not you seek outside help, however, educating your own technology team is crucial to a successful plan. In order to understand the options a consultant presents to you, you need vocabulary and basic concepts. The content areas of TechSoup are a good place to start.
  •  
    This is from the US. Dept of Health and Human Services but talks about, "Technology planning is a process that takes time and resources in order to understand what is appropriate for staff and the organization. Program directors and their management staff may use this resource to further their understanding of what is involved in technology planning." While HeadStart is under this government branch and the terms don't completely line up with education lingo, it makes some great points that ISTE also mention.

Transforming Education with Technology - 1 views

  • In addition to addressing the digital divide, we need to address the pedagogical divide.

  • I think that digital literacy has three parts. The first is the ability to use information well—to find it, consume it, analyze it, and leverage it to solve a problem. The second part of digital literacy is the ability to use media and digital technologies to communicate and collaborate effectively.
  • Third, and arguably the least understood, is the development of digital citizenship

    When it comes to Ed Tech leaders, Eric Sheninger should definitely be added to the list of leaders to follow. He's the principal of New Milford HS in New Jersey and focuses largely on digital leadership. I recently ordered his new book, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Overall, he has a very refreshing perspective on digital leadership and provides great insights on a variety of leadership topics.

Leadership Drives Innovations: A Critical Element in Creating a Successful School | Edu... - 0 views

  • Why are some schools more successful at implementing new ideas, projects, or programs than others? While there are many factors responsible for successful schools, I've noticed that the critical ingredient for success is always leadership. By leadership, I mean the quality of someone who visibly champions and diffuses the innovation schoolwide or districtwide.
  • I've learned that the leader often is a teacher, a student, or someone else respected by others
  • At the districts and schools where I work, the meaningful and effective use of technology is usually the result of this leader's ability tocommunicate and share a common vision provide timely technical support provide relevant professional development comprehend and interpret standards assess programs.

shared by pjspurlock on 06 Mar 19 - No Cached
  • Taking full advantage of technology to transform learning requires strong leadership capable of creating a shared vision of which all members of the community feel a part. Leaders who believe they can delegate the articulation of a vision for how technology can support their learning goals to a chief information officer or chief technology officer fundamentally misunderstand how technology can impact learning. Technology alone does not transform learning; rather, technology helps enable transformative learning. The vision begins with a discussion of how and why a community wants to transform learning. Once these goals are clear, technology can be used to open new possibilities for accomplishing the vision that would otherwise be out of reach. Moving to learning enabled by technology can mean a shift in the specific skills and competencies required of leaders. Education leaders need personal experience with learning technologies, an understanding of how to deploy these resources effectively, and a community-wide vision for how technology can improve learning. 1
