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

Servant Leadership takes the focus from the end goal to the people who are being led. There is no sense of self interest on the part of the leader, who steps back and supports only the interests of the followers.

ive and take is the hallmark of transactional leadership – it is indeed modeled just like a business transaction.

emotional leadership is concerned with the feelings and motivations of followers.

A leader, such as a principal or dean, who switches to a transformational style needs to understand how she can influence how tasks are perceived among her followers.

The heroic leader is overrated—it’s the mundane, everyday activities that make the difference.

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

online connected communities of practice where people can grapple with a problem together, share what they have learned, develop a solution together, and connect with experts who can provide research, information, and strategies.

The challenge for teachers is to understand the opportunities new technology provides

Knowing how to craft learning experiences that meld technology with the curriculum is key to crafting digital-age lessons.

tudent-centered, personalized learning and shifting away from traditional teacher-centered classrooms.

The material appears on any student device, whether tablet, phone, or computer. The formative component allows teachers to embed quizzes, polls, a draw feature, and open-ended responses into the lesson.

Digital leaders do more than consume information. They synthesize learning and use it in collaborative environments. Digital leaders are dynamic change agents who transform the status quo, facilitate better communication and understanding, and integrate a variety of technology tools in their lives.

Leadership Styles

inspire employees and motivate them towards achieving their collective goal. 

Constant motivation is required to see teams through tough times, and even then, a transformational leader could unintentionally cause too much competitiveness among their team.
