This portfolio was created to demonstrate evidence of my learning in "Leadership & Technology" in the spring of 2023.Â
Course Description:
This course is part of the Educational Technology Series at the UVM and was designed for educators who are interested in leadership around technology in schools. This online course targets educators interested in leadership around the use of technology in education. This includes teacher leadership in technology planning for school and district level, planning and implementing integration strategies, and development and dissemination of professional development in local and regional venues in Vermont. We will explore the leadership roles that educators play in schools and how these roles can energize other classroom teachers and build a community of active participants in school technology programs. Participants in this course will study the means to foster leadership around the planning and development of solid goals for their school technology needs.
