   Strand 4 Focus: Building Policy to Support Vision

Technology Policy for 21st Century School Leaders

Policies are an integral part of an education leader's life.  Instead of grumbling about them, can we turn our policies into visioning tools for showcasing the best of what we'd like to see in our schools? Join Dr. Larry Anderson as we take a trip through acceptable use policy including how to address the use of cell phones and social media in schools. During the session, we will discuss the differences between policy and procedure, highlight good examples of policy that serves vision, and talk about ways to make policy writing a piece of your visioning process.

Have a copy of your school or district Acceptable Use Policy handy for reference during the discussion.

   Strand 3 Focus: Communication and Collaboration Practices

Messy and Out of Control: Now What Do We Do?

As leaders, we may be aware of the power of technology to communicate and collaborate but these tools can, and are, threatening "business as usual" in schools. So we're faced with some big challenges and questions. Easy answers don't exist. Come join us as we examine the complexity of some of these practices and share successes, failures and hope for something better.
