Many ways of success implementation:-
Leadership must provide active and committed support — financial, logistical, and moral.
1 ) A technology program is only going to succeed when school boards, school superintendents, and school principals commit to it in word and deed. That support would take the form of practical allocations in terms of all necessary release time and training for teachers and administrators.
The best leadership must work to supply and maintain an “appropriate environment” that will function as fertile ground for educationally sound outcomes. The teacher is a member of the leadership team too, and should be equally committed to technology-integrated education.
2) Selling is better than telling. Everyone needs to buy into the change that technology brings.
The best leadership establishes an environment in which expected outcomes occur spontaneously. Technology should never be forced on teachers; its use should never come as a mandate from on high.
Teachers must be given the opportunity to prepare for the kind of change that computer-based technology brings. The best leadership therefore enables teachers to become the best that they can be through consultation, collaboration, communication, support, respect, and encouragement.
3) Invest in, and train, a core team of teacher-computerizes.
Teacher-computerizes are men and women who are committed to using computer-based educational technology, and who have been given the opportunity to gain a sufficiently high level of expertise to qualify them to act as role models, advisers, and trouble shooters in matters having to do with computer-based educational technology.
In every school, there should be one or more teacher-computerizes, the number depending on the size of the school and, of course, on the school’s commitment to educational computing.
