Leadership Action Plan
Technology is everywhere around us today. Many elementary aged students do not remember the world without a Kindle, iPad, Nook, cellphone, or Wii. So, why is it as soon as they walk into the classroom, the technology gets turned off? There are two simple answers. First, technology is expensive, and many schools/districts cannot afford it. Secondly, teachers are not properly trained in the technology. Teachers stress that they have too little time to cover too much information. Therefore, technology gets pushed aside.
After working through this technology endorsement, I have realized that it is my responsibility to help teachers become more in tune with how exciting technology can be, and furthermore how much the use of technology can enhance instruction.

Part 1: Effective Leadership
Part of becoming technology endorsed is having the ability to share what you have learned. I have had the opportunity to become an EdTech, which gives me the opportunity to share new technology ideas with teachers on a daily basis. Although I enjoy teaching the teachers on a daily basis, I feel like they have taught me more than I could ever teach them. The questions that they ask me challenge me and make me strive to learn more and make me work to get better.

Part 2: Professional Development
What good is learning new technology if you don't share it with others. Professional development is a vital part to any teacher's growth.

Part of being a teacher is the continuous search to find new ideas and resources. Even more important is the idea of creatively implementing those new ideas into your classroom seamlessly.

Part 4: Contributions
Teachers are very creative. That is why it is imperative for them to share their projects with other teachers. It is important to contribute to the school, community, and across the world. It's like the "Pay it Forward" idea. What will you contribute?
