//TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP//

//Purpose: //
This is a collection of artifacts that demonstrate my leadership skills in technology. Each activity includes detailed documentation that includes a recollection, analysis, interpretation, and proposed action of the learning experience. The reflection is divided into a three-part format: description, impact, and intent.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 110%;">The use of technology in the classroom is highly encouraged. However, teachers are sometimes left to discover how to use these technologies on their own. I had an opportunity to work with a group of teachers to create a place to help! Our project does more than simply show teachers how to use Web 2.0 tools. It has evaluation rubrics teachers can use to check and see if they are using them to truely enhance the learning experience for students!
