EDCT 6042
The first goal is to equip technology leaders and coordinators to be role models for instructional and administrative usage of technology in schools and other locales - to have visionary leadership. We will review adoption and diffusion of technology in P-16 settings, technology planning, policy consideration and design, hardware, and software procurement. Second, this course will have a particular focus on professional development and technological leadership. Components that develop this theme include communication, organization, argumentation, use of technology, needs assessment, program evaluation, adult learning models and PD design and development, and strategies for organizational development.
ISTE Standards for EDCT 6042
ISTE NETS Technology for Coaches:
Visionary Leadership
Technology Coaches inspire and participate in the development and implementation of a shared vision for the comprehensive integration of technology to promote excellence and support transformational change throughout the instructional environment. Technology Coaches:
1.a. Shared Vision
Demonstrate the development, communication, and implementation of a shared vision for the comprehensive use of technology to support a digital-age education.
1.b. Strategic Planning
Demonstrate planning, development, communication, implementation, and evaluation of technology-infused strategic plans at the organizational level.
1.c. Advocacy
Demonstrate advocacy for policies, procedures, programs, and funding strategies to support implementation of the shared vision represented in organizational technology plans and guidelines.
1.d. Innovation and Change
Implement strategies for initiating and sustaining technology innovations and manage systemic change processes.
Professional Development & Program Evaluation
Technology coaches conduct needs assessments, develop technology-related professional learning programs, and evaluate the impact on instructional practice and student learning. Technology Coaches:
4.b. Design
Design, develop, and implement technology-rich professional learning programs that model principles of adult learning and promote digital-age best practices in teaching, learning, and assessment.
Meeting Standards:
In EDCT 6042, we worked in groups to identify strategies for change and implementation (1.b & 1.d) of a technology based professional development course (4.b) to aid teachers in integrating multimedia into their daily lesson planning. My group developed a shared vision (1.a) for implementation and teacher buy-in. My group also designed (1.b & 1.d) a re-innovation project to add a MakerSpace to a currently underused classroom. I also created a technology toolbox website (1.d) for K-12 teachers and students, as a repository of multimedia tools organized by subject.
Design a Digital Learning Experience
This project starts with a refined and clear position toward engaging, motivating, and progressing learning around technology use in professional contexts. This should integrate your understanding of policies, procedures, programs, and funding necessary to implementation throughout, yet focus on design, development and delivery of a professional learning experience.

Plan and Budget for Re-Innovation
Consider and propose a plan for a new “Learning Space” that will facilitate a shared vision of educational practice of your choice. Conduct a needs assessment in a local organization, identify funding capacity, and gather organizational support perceptions for the shared vision. With organizational support, seek to implement these strategies with the partnering organization, and document your strategies for initiating and sustaining innovations and the change process.

Technology Toolbox for Teachers and Students
Assets for educational leaders, teachers across content areas, and students. A design challenge to showcase capacity for design, development, and implementation. It should exemplify and promote digital media solutions for teaching, learning, and assessment.
