Throughout this course I have learned various things not only about myself as a teacher but ways to create a more effective learning environment for all. Over the past two weeks we had to create a proposal of a new technology that we thought would benefit not only our students but our district as well. These assignments really made me take a step back and look at what would have the most immediate impact on my students and why. By having to complete this assignment it made me take a few steps outside of the box and look at it from the outside and how others would react. This assignment also made me think as a leader not as an individual and how I could best instill and encourage others to use this technology along demonstrate how it would allows use as educators to fully meet the diverse learning needs of our students.
One immediate adjustment that I will have to make in order to not only identify but apply the emerging technologies is to not only model the effects myself but I would like to hold curriculum days in order to demonstrate the advantages and various technologies that are readily available to all. So for me I will have to immediately change the type of leadership role and become more of an authoritative leader so I can lead people to learn and implement new technologies instead of a democratic leader like I have been in the past. Hopefully with this new leadership role I will be able to influence others to take the small steps necessary in order to provide our students with resources and lessons using the 21st century technology.
I am looking forward to the beginning of this new journey and all that it has to offer.
