  • schools have an obligation to teach students how to use social media responsibly.
  • hen you are filtering out legitimate websites and some of the social media sites, you’re taking away the chance to build capacity for students to use them effectively and responsibly,”
  • f you remove the chance for those websites to be used in school, then where are we developing those responsible habits for our students? How can we have an impact on developing digital citizenship skills?”

  • Social media is already a part of their frameworks as teens. They are all into it. If we block it, we have no chance to educate them on it
  • We run personalized learning over here, and a part of the norms our kids have created for themselves is listening one earbud in one earbud out, but still focusing on what our content is,

      Teaching/using social media and digital citizenship to tie in personal learning... research, discuss and report out.. this can be SO powerful!
  • When I was growing up, I had a textbook, and we still got off track. The medium doesn’t change what a middle-schooler does or doesn’t do. We have to be ready as educators to redirect as needed and support students throughout the learning process,

  • 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.

4 Major Types of Educational Leadership - The Edvocate - 1 views

  • 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.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Transformational leadership takes from each of the other kinds of leadership its best qualities and then uses those, along with a deep sense of shared purpose, to motivate subordinates.
  • For education in particular, transformational leadership offers the best of everything – from tapping into the emotions of workers to offering the compensatory core that is the case for all forms of business, to guiding from a place of support.
  • However since transformational leadership is informed by all of these various types of leadership, it’s always a good idea for leaders to learn more about these other styles so as to offer a deeper understanding of these forms so as to offer those in whose service they are the best support and guidance possible.
