Session 10
This course has not only reinforced my knowledge of technology use within education, it has also challenged me to reassess what my role is as an aspiring technology leader. I really appreciate the way that the course required us to focus on technology in education from our individual perspectives or career paths that we intend on pursuing. Doing so made everything that I learned pertinent and enabled me to put it into a context that made the most sense.
The issues and case scenarios discussed throughout the course compelled me to approach technology from a leadership role and allowed me to think critically to develop solutions based on my prior knowledge. The terminology introduced in this course also enabled me to identify different roles, classifications, and issues within my workplace. Some examples include management vs. leadership, the diffusion of innovation theory and adoption among innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggers, the Ed Norman Syndrome, and data driven decision-making.
I feel that my role as a technology leader will be to exhibit technological tools in education to their highest potential while ensuring that they don’t detract from the learning objectives. As a connoisseur of anything technological, it is very easy to go overboard and cram your courses with multimedia and cutting edge tools that may distract or overwhelm your students. I will use my experience in graphic design, web design, multimedia development, and eLearning to maximize the effectiveness of my instructional design. I will also make it a point to get feedback from everyone from students to school administrators to make certain that all of the salient needs across the educational spectrum are addressed.
