I want to extend a warm welcome to you who have registered for this on-line course EDAL 670 - Technology for Leaders - Summer, 2010. The course will use this EDAL670 website together with an on-line D2L environment..
Technology has changed the delivery of information, especially in K-12 schools and colleges. Pencils and pens were once cutting-edge technology. Today, it's hand-held devices, like iPods or iPads.
Changes in technology present both dangers and opportunities which this course will address. This course will also touch on vital leadership behaviors critical to successfully guide technological change. There will be structured assignments and ample opportunity to interact with others in this on-line environment.
EDAL 670 is designed for K-12 administrators and uses a number of current websites instead of one textbook
I look forward to guiding you, as we together interact with a wide array of technology resources for school leaders. I am here to be of service - so please feel free to contact me directly through my e-mail (jimjeff@andrews.edu).
