"Technology Standards for Administrators, Teachers and Students"

1. Should the new administrator standards parallel the new teachers standards?
The new administrative standards should be similar in structure. Both teachers and administrators have the same challenges of trying to motivate students as well as themselves to become more innovative thinkers in this new digital age. Professional development and self reflection is also an area that should be used for both teachers and administrators. In becoming future administrators we need to learn how to use new digital tools in the same manner as teachers. Administrators should be held accountable for learning new technology just as the new standards for teachers hold them accountable.

2. Are there additional standards to which administrators should be held? I believe the revised version of the new administrative standards should add words like, digital tools, virtual environments and global and digital society. We have moved into a new age of virtual interaction that will assist us in becoming familiar with new technology as well as other countries. As future administrators we have to stay up to date with current trends. This will assist us in choosing what digital tools are best for our classrooms. Choosing the right technology is very important and should not be taken lightly. The money spent for new technology should benefit the school as a whole.

3. What is your overall reaction to the new administrative standards. The current administrative standards contain many great points. However, like technology six years ago things have changed. The revised standards should fit closely with the new teaching standards. The digital age has become more global and the current administrative standards do not address this issue very well. The current administrative standards also don't talk abouts the parent's and community's role in the new age of technology. As future administrators we need to find ways to make training available to more parents and community leaders. Parents are more likely to have an appreciation of new digital tools if they know how to use them. Community leaders are also more likely to provide funding if they have an idea of where there money is going. After looking at all the standards I realized we have a lot of work to do as administrators. As a physical education teacher I was not afforded the same opportunities as classroom teachers to receive training on new digital tools. From this lack of training I found myself learning from others in my spare time. I feel administrators need to make sure that all teachers have the same chances to work with new technology. Administrators challenges of funding for new technology and funding for professional practice will play a big role in the overall success of the revised standards. These new standards for teachers, students, and administrators want be easy for anyone involved. However, in today's new digital and global society we have to "think outside the box." Failure is not an option.
