I watched a video seminar through the k-12 online conference website on 21st Century leaders. Their main point was that technology is everywhere and technology must not be an add on, but needs to be integrated into life and the classroom. Good school leaders should realize that educational goals should focus on a combination of "old school" teaching techniques and new technological ideas. Plan ahead, be prepared but be ready to adjust to the new changes within technology.
While this seems fairly self-explanatory, school leaders need to make this a major goal for their students and faculty. David Wells, (not the former pitcher) but the elementary school principal from Vermont, did a nice job of making sure everyone understood how vital this message really is. Do not turn a blind eye to technology, and if you realize how important it is, it can make you a great leader in this new century.
