Blog post #3: Peer Videoconference
What skills are needed by principals and leaders in technology rich learning environments?
James and I discussed this question by referring to an article in Flipboard, 7 Habits of Highly Effective Tech-leading Principals. According to Jennifer Demski (2012), there are seven practices that should be part of a principal's repertoire in order to lead in today's tech-rich educational systems.
- Create an atmosphere that inspires innovation
- Foster collaboration
- Be open to new ideas
- Be a connected learner
- Locate and provide adequate resources
- Take risks
- Have a Visionary Focus
School leaders who model these practices will more likely inspire the same habits in their faculty and staff.
