THEME: TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIPTechnology leadership is an integral part
of what I do in the field of education. As a computer teacher, I do not
have to work hard to integrate technology into my curriculum. However, it
is not always as easy for teachers in other curriculum areas to incorporate
technology into the classroom. Through a combination of my prior knowledge
and the new information that I have learned throughout the MSET program, the
opportunity is there to have a leadership role in assisting in technology being
incorporated into more classrooms.
