8. Questions we often receive
How do I get the staff to “buy‐in” to technology
use in the classroom?
What can I do as building leader to model and
promote technology?
What kind of results do you see with the
technology integration?
11. What can I do as building leader to model
and promote technology?
You have a significant, if not the most important, role as building principal in
promoting, modeling, and cultivating a learning community embedded with
digital opportunities. Leaders must have tech awareness!
Technology integration in the classroom should be the norm and not the
exception.
Let teachers know that you have high expectations and are not afraid to
engage in conversation when those expectations are not met.
12. What can I do as building leader to model
and promote technology?
The principal must model this ‘digital’ attitude by making innovative
technologies a standing agenda item at staff meetings, and allowing teachers
to share best practice ideas and strategies related to digital learning.
Kids eat, breathe, and sleep in a digital world. Your world may look
different. But here’s one thing I know for sure – the kids won’t be joining your
world, so you might as well join their world. It’s an obligation.
13. What kind of results do you see with the
technology integration?
Teacher Survey

14. What kind of results do you see with the
technology integration?
Teacher Survey
In your opinion, how has the SMART Board enhanced student learning
in your classroom?
More student engagement when lessons are interactive
Increases class participation, student interest and motivation
Innumerable lessons – do things I could not do before
Made it fun to collaborate with colleagues to find new ways of teaching
Enables students to see real world application and make a greater impact
Can interact with computer without sitting behind keyboard or desk
Great for formative assessments | increases achievement
Examples used can be more elaborate and can be saved to reuse later
