Technology Leadership and Organizational Change    3 s.h

Catalog description

The role of a leader is to construct a vision for the appropriate use of technology and provide needed supports and resources for all stakeholders to meet it. The new pedagogy for digital natives must shift from the teacher teaching how to operate specific technology or applications to using technology to facilitate a deeper understanding and knowledge. The pedagogical shift to leveraging technology as a tool for learning facilitation, requires a leader who is willing to support his/her stakeholders throughout the change process. Effective technology initiatives are not device centric, but people centric, as they are the ones who create the environment for learning. This course explores how a culture of change will replace traditional technology use and pedagogy with technology integrated throughout the culture and aligned to standards and essential conditions as defined by the International Society for Technology in Education.
