   I think that in order for administrators to be able to bring their school into the 21st Century of technology, they must first know the trends of technology in education and the instructional possibilities. Administrators do not have to be technology savvy,however, they should be resourceful. Knowing where to go to find the resources necessary to educate and provide teachers with the technology tools is more important. At least providing the resources will enable teachers to implement technology into instructional practices.

     Any administrator who isn’t tech savvy should be getting lessons from students. Students love to teach receptive adults. I became the most tech savvy adult thanks to my students. DrDougGreen.Com

   I also feel that in order to implement technology in education, school administrators must also be savvy about technology use, and the benefits it could provide to instruction.

   I agree. Everyone is still learning; students, teachers and administrators. I wonder if everyone is WILLING to learn more about the technology that is out there. Tools are made available to the public everyday. It’s up to the adminsitration to not focus so much on how much but how can.

   As a current Junior school teacher, years 0-2, although I have taught at all Primary levels I think it hugely important that there are deliberate acts of teaching. There are huge possibilities at a teacher’s fingertips via the web but a lot of people don’t know what’s out there or are not being supported to give there ideas a try. I have been very fortunate to be released from the classroom for 6 months to support teachers and children and have done a huge amount of thinking and personal professional development during this time. To get the best from staff you need to support them and there are many different ways to offer support according to an individual’s needs – demonstration from an eLearning expert where the teacher observes leading to eCoaching involving team teaching leading to the teacher becoming a confident, independent integrator or eLearning. Then the eLearning expert can become the observer supporting the teacher to refine their practice. Educators cannot deny that teaching is changing, to stay relevant schools need to step up!

   I am interested in being a guest blogger for you, Scott. I would like to discuss using Web 2.0 tools in the classroom and making administrators comfortable with that. I could also write about my PLN and meeting so many of them at ISTE 2010.

   Hi Scott,

   You asked for a suggestion for a useful blog. I suggest a blog where administrators and teacher leaders could ask questions to each other.

   They should be able to be asked anonymously. The person’s name or e-mail address should not show. -Or maybe the person could sign on with a random screen name or number. Granted the administrator of the site probably would know, but the general public wouldn’t.

   The idea would be a site called something like Hypothetically Speaking (if no one already has that name). Then, people could ask questions to gather opinions and experiences. They should still be cautioned to not give too many identifying or specific details.

   If you would like some examples of what I have in mind, please e-mail me. Thank you. -Corey
