=**Welcome to GCU Ed Leadership Wiki On this Wiki, we will collaborate and ultimately share our ideas about instructional leadership and technology integration.**=

** Hello to the Students at GCU. **

**What do I want the Graduate students to Know**:

 * Any time teachers use technology it should be to enhance the curriculum and engage students in the content.
 * Literacy in this time is different than what it has been.
 * It needs to be an expectation from the leadership (principal) or people may not stretch.
 * There are essential conditions that are key to technology implementation.

**What enduring understandings do I want the Graduate students to walk away with?**
 o Students today learn differently. o That technology is more than typing reports. o Technology needs to be transparent, and used when appropriate is worth the disequilibrium it takes as teachers begin to implement the use of technology.

** What do I want the Graduate students to be able to do: **
o Self evaluate based on the Essential Conditions Rubric. o Then make an action plan to: 1. Identify 3 most important focus points. 2. Make a plan for improving those points. For yourself and at school as a principal. Make an argument for these improvements. Consider the Technology goals for student achievement and the instructional goals for teachers. 3. Make a multi-media presentation on your wiki page persuading your audience of teachers on the power of technology integration. You may use any of the following: Animoto, ppt, photostory3, Public service announcement (video), images, audio, etc.

But let's look at this through the lense of the Digital Divide. What is a Digital Divide? media type="custom" key="4424011"

How does this question effect your thinking? What do you feel is the most pressing piece of the Digital Divide in your context? Once you pinpoint that, in your teams, do your collaboration by identifying your focus points looking through that Digital Divide lense.

Name your teams according to your focus. Have fun! BE engaged. Collaborate!
