Supporting Administrators

Tip:
Professional developers can support the administrators in their school and district as they increase their technology skills and knowledge of integrating technology into all areas of teaching and learning.

Professional developers can help them learn how to:

• Use technology for data-decision making
• Know what technology can and cannot do
• Choose the most appropriate tools for different learning activities
• Use technology for management and productivity
• Determine how technology enhances the curriculum
• Keep up with the latest technology
• Digitize all content
• Assess the different levels of use of their staff

Technology is just a tool. It is our job to help administrators understand the importance of using technology and how it impacts student learning. For more information and resources that will support your administrators, go to http://www.portical.org/
