During the duration of the Instructional Technology Leadership course, I gained skills that directly positively affected my abilities to acquire and sustain leadership in technology. Using resources, such as RSS feeds, to learn about current trends in educational technology are both informative and reliable in 21st-century education. I will continually use these resources to impact my learning as both a teacher and leader.
Learning how to create a shared vision and collaborating with others for the purpose of a SWOT analysis allowed me to gain knowledge about my school in terms of technology. As a result, I created an action/evaluation plan that taught me skills such as setting goals, evaluating the methods in doing so, and creating strategies during the process. Learning how to incorporate a timeline, while consider budgeting, within the plan helped to create a real-world experience that will help the school where I work in the future. I thoroughly enjoyed the grant proposal, which forced me to think deeply about a project I am wanting to accomplish as well as the tools I need to get there and obstacles that may enter along the way.
Overall, this course has taught me a lot about being a technology leader. I gained many skills that will help propel innovative ideas and reasoning behind them, in order to help enrich the technological experience within my school.
