Reflections+on+Technology+Facilitator+Standard+I


 * To prepare toward my future responsibilities as an leader in educational technology leader, I think it is of utmost importance that I continue to envision future instructional responsibilities in terms of the Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology and its four domains: Teaching and Learning; Educator Preparation and Development; Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support; and Infrastructure for Technology. Leaders should be familiar with state and federal requirements for technology plans, as well as data on instructional technology collected through the Texas **** Chart. The constant evolution of technology knowledge and skills, can only be assured if we believe and demonstrate that Technology should accommodate for and include everybody, acting as a great equalizer of opportunity. Also, as a teacher, I feel it is my duty to include technology to strenghten the coursework. As a technology leader, I must make sure that I create and provide ongoing professional development opportunities for fellow teachers to insure that their students succeed. **
 * Current teachers must learn how to include technology to strengthen the coursework. They must benefit from ongoing professional development opportunities to insure that their students succeed. As a campus leader, I feel I must encourage Administrators to visualize the integration of technology into the daily operation of their activities. Administrators should create and work out plans that delineate campus needs and strengths in order to implement technology. Finally, as a trained professiona, it will be important that I ensure that the available technology be sufficient, secure, and reliable, especially in consideration of the community, legal, and ethical subjects facing today’s teachers, students, and parents. **
