Time and Money that is the bottom line of what so much comes down to in education. The most powerful information that I have gained in this class is a statement by Dr. Jeffery's. In one of our first few classes he said something to the effect of "If you believe that something is important then you have to find the time and money for it." Wow! How true as I think back through my years as a teacher how many times have my administrators pushed some new practice or idea but then did not give us the time or money to be effectively be trained or implemented. It becomes very old very quickly. As a school leader I know that integrating technology is going to be a vital part of ensuring that my school is preparing students for global economy. During this course I have read many articles and books about education, and very single one of them has talked about the important roll that technology plays in increasing student achievement. As a school leader I am going to have to find time and money for professional development to help teachers with this process.
