what you want technology to be and become in teaching and learning and how, as a technology leader, you might facilitate those desires

Administrators in a school want to foster an environment conducive to the comprehensive integration of technology into the educational setting. To achieve this goal, it is most important for the administrators to focus on:Question 20Answera.promoting a culture of acceptance where teachers infuse technology into the curriculum at their own pace.b.showcasing teachers who are actively incorporating technology into their classrooms.c.establishing strict guidelines and requirements for technology use within the curriculum.d. cultivating a culture of responsible risk-taking and supporting innovation in the use of technology.

For this activity, you will investigate a P-12 school setting to demonstrate your knowledge of technology leadership. Once you have identified the potential site, seek the principal’s approval in writing to conduct the investigation. Your investigation will entail interviewing the principal, technology coordinator (or principal’s designee), at least one teacher, and any other individuals you deem appropriate. You may not interview students. Before or after your interviews, seek permission from the principal to tour the school and make notes of how you see technology being used. Remember that, as a technology leader, your focus is school-wide technology use—not just classroom-based technology use. Use the rubric, video, and this description to guide your investigation. Once you have completed your investigation, compose a case study report of the school. Your report should include, but is not limited to, (1) description of the school including general demographics of students, faculty, and administrators; (2) brief biographies of the individuals interviewed; (3) comprehensive summaries of the interviews; (4) comprehensive summary of your field notes from observations; (5) summary of the school’s technology strengths; and (6) recommendations for technology advancement. The report must follow APA writing and formatting guidelines.Refer to this rubric for grading criteria. Watch this YouTube video for a narrated overview of the assignment.
