A Principal's Reflections

JANUARY 7, 2014

If I was graded I would have probably received an A for running my school where strict rules had to be followed by students, mobile devices banned, and all social media blocked. What I lacked was education on how all aspects of technology could be used to enhance learning. Obviously, not much at the time.

It has been quite the ride since I changed my perspective on teaching, learning, and leadership eight years ago. Prior to 2009 I basically saw technology as just an add-on and something that could spruce up a lesson. Learning spaces had to conform to the perceived rule of law in education.

Last week my school was fortunate to have the NJ School Boards Association (NJSBA) visit to produce a live event called Learn@Lunch: Technology as an Engagement Tool.
