Sample Syllabus

Description:
Principals must be the catalyst in their school for technology integration into the teaching learning/ process. A digital culture in the school begins with a vision, and that vision should come from the principal: the educational leader of the school. This course creates and nurtures digitally minded principals through the creation of a technology vision, the marriage of technology to standards, the focus of technology into the best teaching practices through supervisory techniques, the utilization of technology by the principal for practical and modeling purposes, the development of a process for leading and administering the technology in their schools, and the evaluation of hardware, software, and Internet sites. There will be opportunities for hands-on experiences, interaction with technologically innovative school administrators, and site visitations to innovative school districts.
