Providing Support

I provide support and guidance with technology experiences during and beyond the school day to integrate technologies into instructional programs. Collaborative relationships with teachers and members of the school community are the foundation in all my work. I am:
 
  • Effectively qualified and infusing technology and information literacy into the learning process. 
  • Passionate about igniting student curiosity and developing student competence in educational technologies. 
  • Experienced in collaborating with teachers to help students to become increasingly information literate, independent in their learning, and responsible digital citizens in their use of information and technology. 
I believe the role of a Technology Coordinator/Technology Director is multifaceted and complex. However, one distinctive priority in my mind for a Tech Coordinator/TechDirector should grow all learners in the learning process by implementing appropriate and effective technologies that are conducive to the delivery of school approved curriculum, assessments, and activities for enriching the educational environment. 
 
Required Skills and Abilities of a Tech Coordinator/TechDirector
  • Must have knowledge and experience of technologies with technical skills in computer hardware, software, network, computer use, mobile device use, and learning management systems. 
  • Able to sustain and strong cybersecurity infrastructure for the district.
  • Must supervise all things related to technologies involving the implementation, maintenance, training, upgrades, policies and procedures, developing, innovations, budgeting, and purchasing of technologies. 
  • Ability to effectively communicate, direct, train, and lead stake holders toward 21stcentury learning.
  • Must be a visionary and foresee a world that doesn’t yet exist. 
  • Able to problem solve under pressure in an efficient manner
  • Must maintain an approachable, respectable, and personable demeaner with all stake holders.
