21st Century Principal's Project

A project that I am working on with some other ADEs here in Korea for this year is a project that will benefit our schools in Seoul and our hope is to provide a framework and valuable information to publish online to share with ADEs around the globe.The project centers around helping principals in practicing 21st century technology skills to accomplish their job's tasks.

The first step we accomplished was polling our principals (including vice principals) to find out what forms of technology they are already using. We then met with and emailed principals to discuss the results and to find out what areas they wanted to improve on or simply explore. We shared with our principals some best practices that other principals were using that increase efficiency and productivity.

Currently we are in the stage of setting up a customized technology program with principals that gives objectives and desirable outcomes and then meet with the principals individually face-to-face or online to discuss the progress, answer questions, and share ideas.

So far it is going very well and I hope to attend the ADE conference in Ireland this summer to share the results along with my dissertation results from the effects of a positive digital footprint among students in applying for jobs.
