“…a complex, dynamic, and very messy multilevel system”

“…a tangled maze of structures, events,

and relationships”

#1 Technology Leadership

What leadership practices matter for technology integration?

#tltechlive

✓ Technology Leadership ✓ Students per computer ✗ Internet ✗ Hardware $/student ✗ Software $/student

Anderson & Dexter, 2005

48 of 50 states

NO technology preparation for future school leaders

✓ Supportive principal ✓ Collaborative teachers ✓ Professional organizations ✗  Competitive instructional technologist ✗  Unsupportive principal ✗  Uncollaborative teachers

#2 Technology Vision

What’s your technology vision?

#tltechlive

“Superintendents have been pressed to purchase new hardware and software, in the belief that if technology were introduced to the classroom, it would be used, and if it were used, it would transform schooling.”

Cuban, 2001; 2013 Zhao & Conway, 2001

✓ Learner-focused ✓ Curricular-focused ✓ Pre-planned

Dexter, 2011 Hughes, De Zeeuw, & Ok, in press Photo: Wesley Fryer

Students are a constituent group that is often neglected, ignored, or forgotten.

General tech = “replacement” pedagogy

Hughes, 2003; 2004; 2005 Hughes, Kerr, & Ooms, 2005 Hughes & Ooms, 2004

POPs + Tech = Transformative learning

✓ Content-specificity ✓ Ongoing, long-term

Schrum, Galizio, & Ledesma, 2011

“[Leaders] uniformly stressed that the role of the school leader is essential in helping teachers establish a culture that values risk taking, promotes exploration, and celebrates innovation.”

grammar of schooling

Selwyn, 2011

a school’s engrained educational format

and goals

Selwyn, 2011

grammar of schooling:

“…we [math team] all need to do the same because everybody needs to have the same thing and equal and all the same time. If you don’t do that material and you don’t give them that quiz and that test, well that’s not fair. Your kids are making some frilly little project they’re going to get an “A” on, and my kids have to factor something which is hell.…”

✓ Include leaders in prof learning ✓ Drive change w/ librarians ✓ Enact tiered visioning ✓ Nurture content-specific tech PLCs ✓ Support real risk-taking
